Punjab: A Punjab based private hospital has been ordered to pay Rs 4 lakh compensation along with interest to a complainant, after the District Consumer Dispute Redressal Forum, Patiala found medical negligence on part of the hospital. This came after a complainant approached the forum alleging that his wife who was admitted at the hospital died due to faulty operation and negligence of the hospital.
" medial negligence is proved beyond a reasonable doubt from the report of postmortem as stated above and from the fact that the patient was operated upon due to cyst in the uterus and died on the same date due to excessive bleeding which shows negligence on the part of the hospital and the doctor in conducting the treatment."
So due to our above discussion and taking into consideration the entire facts and circumstances of the case, the complaint stands partly allowed and OPs No.1&2 are directed to pay Rs.4,00,000/-alongwith interest @ 6% P.A. from the date of death of Balwinder Kaur i.e. 30.6.2012, as compensation to all the complainants in equal share alongwith Rs.10,000/- as litigation expenses.
