Initially the complainant got first aid from Victoria Hospital, Bangalore, on
28.4.05 and subsequently he was admitted in Surgical Ward of South Eastern
Railway Hospital, Bangalore. According to the Complainant, though there was
sufficient pain in the left wrist of the complainant, but the attending doctor
ignoring such state of affairs conducted P.O.P. pluster in the injured hand of the
complainant thereby also ignoring the fact that there was swelling in the
fractured limb of the complainant. According to the Complainant, there was no
relief to the complainant and as there was subsisting pain and swelling in the
fractured limb of the complainant, the complainant got himself examined by an
orthopaedic surgeon namely Dr. D.Sridhar, Orthopaedic Center, Jayanagar, who
detected that there was existence of fracture in the left wrist of the complainant,
which clearly indicated that the OP No. 2, i.e. the concerned Railway Hospital,
was negligent in performing proper duty. Subsequently the complainant was
referred to South Eastern Railway Hospital, Garden Reach, Kolkata, where the
opined post immobilization fracture and advised for extensive physiotherapy.
According to the complainant, due to negligent acts and omissions on the part of
the Opponents the complainant has suffered physical discomfort and harassment
and hence, the petition of complaint for a compensation to the tune of Rs.
4,75,000/- along with litigation cost was filed before the consumer Court at
Bangalore.
The Opponents contested the case by filing written version thereby denying all
the material averments mentioned in the petition of complaint contending inter
alia that the petition of complaint was not maintainable on the ground that the
complainant was not a Consumer as per provisions of the Consumer Protection
Act.
Ld. District Forum while disposing of the petition of complaint has observed
that the complainant was not a Consumer as per provisions of the Consumer
Protection Act and in the absence of any deficiency in service at the instance of
the Opponents, as claimed by the complainant, the complainant was not entitled
to get any relief as per prayer of the petition of complaint and accordingly
dismissed the petition of complaint on contest without any order as to cost as
mentioned above.
Being aggrieved by the order of the district forum, the present Appeal is filed
before the Karnataka State Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission at
Bangalore
