MCI punishments cannot be an indicator to decide any faults: Delhi HC

The Delhi High Court has recently observed that the MCI (now National Medical Commission- NMC) award of punishment cannot be an indicator to decide any fault, imperfection, shortcoming, or inadequacy of a medical professional under various laws.

With this observation, the HC bench comprising Justice Subramonium Prasad directed the consumer and criminal courts to continue the proceedings against two Delhi orthopaedicians under various laws, disregarding the decision taken by the MCI and the quantum of punishment awarded to the doctors for alleged medical negligence.
