NOTABLE EXCERPTS
While awarding compensation to a victim of medical negligence, it must also be borne in mind that life has its pitfalls and is not smooth sailing all along the way as the hiccups that invariably come about cannot be visualised. Life it is said is akin to a ride on a roller-coaster where a meteoric rise is often followed by an equally spectacular fall, and the distance between the two is a minute or a yard.”
