A Dehradun based pathological laboratory was asked to pay Rs 10 lakh with interest to a woman who was wrongly diagnosed with breast cancer by the lab. Ahuja Pathology and Imagine Centre were found guilty of negligence by the State Consumer Redressal Commission, Uttrakhand.
The Commission asked the lab and its owner, Dr Alok Ahuja, to pay Rs 10 lakh compensation to Yashoda Goyal, 60, at the rate of 7 per cent per annum since 2006, besides Rs 10,000 as legal expenses.
“One can imagine the pain and agony suffered by the complainant when she came to know that she is suffering from breast cancer. Her left breast was unnecessarily removed, on account of which she has to suffer throughout her entire life physically, mentally as well as socially,” justices BS Verma and Veena Sharma said in the judgment.Click Here: IQOS White
