\n1. Mrs. Kailash Malhotra, 78 years old, heavy diabetic, was operated as advised on her left eye for cataract. However it was alleged by the Complainant that the surgery was performed hurriedly and negligently and as even after more than three weeks, her vision did not adequately regain, she went to Safdarjung Hospital, where it was revealed that the procedure was not properly performed .
\n2. She was advised for 2nd surgery, but she had no faith in the opponents and she approached Army Hospital (R & R), wherein an attempt was made to salvage her left eye, but in vain.. Hence she fled a complaint with State Commission for getting compensation of Rs.50 lakhs..

The Doctors and the Hospital opposed the complaint and it was pleaded on their behalf that the complainant, with heavy diabetics, had high degree of loss of vision, both eyes showed Cataract with nuclear sclerosis., and the patient had hard dense brown cataract in the left eye; with poor pupillary dilation.
\n4. Her right eye operation was successful. However despite due care and caution during surgical procedure, the Posterior Capsular Rupture (PCR) occurred ( a known complication in cataract surgery).
