The Puducherry State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission dismissed an appeal filed by Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER) and a senior obsterician-Gynaecologist, upholding an earlier order directing them to pay Rs 9.25 lakh to a patient who suffered a bowel injury and serious complications following laparoscopic cystectomy.
