New Delhi: The Supreme Court bench recently directed a Maharashtra-based eye surgeon to pay Rs 3.5 lakh compensation to a patient, who developed an infection and abscess after undergoing a cataract surgery around 25 years ago.
Even though the State Consumer Court had asked the doctor to pay compensation, the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) had held that there was no negligence on the doctor's part.
