Overview

The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) recently reversed a State Commission order awarding compensation for failed tubectomy while reiterating the observation of the Supreme Court that the methods of sterilization / tubectomy are not absolutely safe and secure and such failures does not deserve compensation.

Therefore, the top consumer court exonerated the Rajasthan State Health Department authorities from negligence while performing tubectomy operation. Before dismissing the appeal, the NCDRC bench especially took note of the fact that the complainant gave birth to a healthy, matured baby only seven months after the tubectomy operation.
