Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the findings of medical negligence and deficiency in service against Deep Nursing Home and Dr. Kanwarjit Kochhar, in relation to the death of Charanpreet Kaur and her newborn. The lower tribunal had held the nursing home liable for negligence but found no fault regarding the newborn's death, directing compensation accordingly. The Court analyzed whether the liability and compensation awarded were justified, considering the evidence of negligence and insurance coverage. The judgment underscores the importance of due care in medical practice and the assessment of liability in medical negligence cases.
