Relief to Medanta, NCDRC dismisses Rs 10 crore medical negligence case filed by former CJI family
In a major respite to Medanta Hospital, Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, Bhardwaj Nursing and Maternity Home and its doctors embroiled in a decade long medical negligence case, the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) has dismissed a complaint filed by the family of former Chief Justice Of India (CJI) J S Verma seeking "exemplary damage" and compensation of Rs 10 crore by the treating doctors and medical institutions.
The bench of Dr S M Kantikar (presiding member), Justice (Retd) Ram Surat Ram Maurya (judicial member), and Dr Inder Jit Singh (technical member) observed that the patient’s family failed to prove “all the 4 Ds – Duty, Dereliction, Direct Cause and Damages” which are required to gain successful claim in the case of medical negligence.
