Nursing homes without ICU can’t conduct Operations : Supreme Court<\/p>\n
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Courthas\u00a0said nursing homes without an intensive care unit facility can’t carry out surgeries on a patient as absence of an ICU posed danger to the patient’s life. A bench of Justices Adarsh Kumar goel and\u00a0U U Lalit gave the ruling on a petition filed by Bijoy Sinha\u00a0who lost his wife due to alleged medical negligence of Dr Das\u00a0who conducted a hysterectomy surgery at Kolkata’s Ashutosh Nursing Home in Kolkata. The nursing home did not have an ICU facility<\/p>\n

This will boost hopes of all homebuyers facing harassment at the hands of truant realtors.<\/p>\n A bench of Justices Mr. Goel and\u00a0U U Lalit said, “Provisions of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, are in addition to and not in derogation of any other law. Thus, the Act provides for additional remedies. The authorities under the Act exercise quasi-judicial powers. The award of damages (in the case filed by Sinha) is aimed at bringing about qualitative change in the attitude of service providers.”<\/p>\n
