Doctors file review petition in SC for liability under Consumer Protection Act
Advertisement
Doctors have sought a review of the recent Supreme Court judgment upholding the liability of doctors under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986.
A review petition in this regard has been filed before the Apex Court bench by the Medico-Legal Society of India against the order dated November 7, 2024, through which the top court bench comprising Justices B.R. Gavai, Prashant Kumar Mishra, and K.V. Vishwanathan had refused to reconsider the 1995 judgment in the case of Indian Medical Association v VP Shantha, which brought medical professionals under the ambit of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 (as re-enacted in 2019).
