casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Laxman Thamappa Kotgiri v. G.M., Central Railway On 6 January 2005, the Supreme Court allowed the special leave petition and appeal. The Court held that medical treatment provided to a railway employee and family members as part of service conditions constitutes "paid service" under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, overruling the National Commission's dismissal. The matter was remanded to the National Commission for decision on merits, following the larger Bench precedent in V.P. Shantha's case over the conflicting State of Orissa decision.
