Consumer Court relief to Lok Nayak Hospital, Doctor; imposes Rs 10,000 cost on patient

Holding that false allegations and unsubstantiated claims amount to frivolous and vexatious litigation, the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission-I (North District) has rejected a complaint against a doctor and Lok Nayak Hospital, seeking compensation on the ground of failed sterilisation surgery.

Divya Jyoti Jaipuriar, President and Ashwani Kumar Mehta, Member of the District Commission observed that as argued by the doctor's advocate the complaint was not maintainable qua doctor also as the hospital, being a government hospital, does not charge any fee from any of the patients and the services so rendered by employee doctors are also out of purview of application of the Consumer Protection Act.
