Live Law  

The National Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission bench comprising presiding member, S.M. Kantikar, reversed the order of the State Commission, Rajasthan for allowing compensation to a lady who alleged that she got pregnant due to the failure of a tubectomy operation. Brief Facts: Robina underwent a tubectomy operation in a Family Planning Camp organized by the State of Rajasthan on 07.11.2005 which was performed by a medical officer. Aggrieved by the failed tubectomy operation which resulted into unwanted pregnancy, Robina filed a consumer complaint in the District Forum. Conclusively, the pregnancy did not fall under failure of tubectomy operation and even if the pregnancy happened solely because of its failure, then also it would not amount to medical negligence.
