\nThe Commission said Rs 30 lakh would be paid as compensation for the death of Prabha Tripathi(60) due to medical negligence and deficiency in service, while Rs 20 lakh for the wrong treatment.<\/p>\n
The judges also asked the petitioner to pay back all the reimbursement, they availed from IFFCO for treatment of Prabha Tripathi after they receive the compensation amount.<\/p>\n
The case was filed in 2009 by Raj Kumar Tripathi and his two sons Pawan and Amit of Tiwari Tola, Mohammadabad, Ghazipur district against Dr Indu Singh, Apollo Clinic and Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi under section 17\/13 of the Consumer Protection Act.<\/p>\n
The court, however, exonerated Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi in the case.<\/p>\n
