Failed tubectomy not medical negligence: Supreme Court sets aside NCDRC order awarding compensation
Overview
Observing error in the judgment of National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC), the Supreme Court recently set aside the order of the top consumer court which had awarded compensation to a woman after she gave birth to child despite undergoing Tubectomy procedure.
However, the Apex Court clarified that if any amount has already been paid to the concerned woman, the State shall not demand a refund.
The concerned woman had undergone the Tubectomy operation twice on 23rd September, 1994 and 27th February, 1998. However, both the procedures remained unsuccessful and she gave birth to a male child in 2003. Following this, the woman had filed a complaint before the District Consumer Forum alleging medical negligence on account of failed tubectomy surgery.
