Delhi State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission recently dismissed a consumer complaint alleging medical negligence against a private hospital.The bench, comprising president Justice Sangita Dhingra and member Pinki, observed last month that the appellant merely made "vague allegations" which did not disclose any detail regarding his grievance against the treatment provided."Furthermore, the appellant has not placed on record any cogent material or expert evidence to show negligence on the part of the respondents. Even otherwise, there is nothing in favour of the appellant," said the commission.
The patient/complainant, Lal Bahadur Pandey, claimed that he was administered high-potency medicines daily at the hospital, leading to his deteriorating health.The history of the case goes back to 2017 when the patient was suffering from pain in his right arm as well as the right side of his neck, and in an emergency, he was admitted to a Delhi-based hospital, Jeevan Jyoti Clinic and Hospital, in Dilshad Garden.
