Neeraj Sud vs Jaswinder Singh (Minor)

The Supreme Court upheld the NCDRC's finding of medical negligence against Dr. Neeraj Sud and PGI under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, stating that they failed to provide adequate care during surgery for congenital ptosis, resulting in further deterioration of the patient's condition. The Court confirmed the compensation of Rs.3,00,000 and Rs.50,000 as costs, with interest from the date of the complaint. The appeal by the complainants for enhanced compensation was noted but not granted due to improper drafting.
