Case Summary: Century Rayon Hospital & Anr. v. Tej Pal Rastogi The Supreme Court dismissed Century Rayon Hospital's appeal challenging the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission's order (dated 08.10.2010) that found the hospital guilty of medical negligence. The Commission had directed the hospital to pay Rs. 8,00,000 compensation with 9% interest from the patient's death date (25.01.2001). The patient died after being administered Urokinase injection without proper testing and justification, resulting in intra-cerebral bleeding. The Court upheld the negligence finding, noting inadequate patient examination, lack of required Trop T test before injection administration, and poor documentation of the patient's condition.
