Bherulal Bhimaji Oswal(Dead) Through ... vs Madhusudan N. Kumbhare

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the NCDRC's decision which dismissed the complaint regarding medical negligence in cataract surgery. The Court emphasized that the standard of care expected from medical professionals is that of a reasonably competent practitioner, as per the principles established under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. The Court held that the respondent failed to meet this standard, leading to the deterioration of the appellant's condition, and thus allowed the appeal, setting aside the NCDRC's order.
