Medical Negligence | Non-Consideration of Affidavits & OT Register Vitiates Order: NCDRC Remands for Fresh Adjudication
The NCDRC has set aside a State Commission order for failing to examine critical evidence - including affidavits and the operation theatre register - in a medical negligence complaint. This reinforces that procedural fairness in consumer forums demands full appreciation of all material evidence, even when parties dispute involvement. Healthcare providers and insurers must now ensure all documentary defenses are formally recorded and evaluated.
