HC sets aside NCDRC order imposing Rs 93 lakh compensation on doctor
The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court bench recently set aside an order by the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) directing the doctors and a hospital-owner to pay Rs 93 lakh compensation to a patient who had to suffer while undergoing c-section at the facility.
Earlier the State Commission had granted Rs 95 lakh compensation in the patient's favour. However, later, one member of NCDRC dismissed the complaint while the other reduced it to Rs 93 lakh. When the matter was referred to a third member, the order of R 93 lakh compensation was upheld.
