Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the decision of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, which had dismissed the complaint of medical negligence against a doctor and a hospital. The Court found that there was indeed a deficiency of service, as the evidence and medical records indicated negligence in the treatment provided. Consequently, the Court directed the respondents to pay compensation to the complainants for the medical negligence suffered.
