1 - 10 of 18 (0.36 seconds)Jacob Mathew vs State Of Punjab & Anr on 5 August, 2005
"37. We find from a reading of the order of the Commission that it
proceeded on the basis that whatever had been alleged in the
complaint by the respondent was in fact the inviolable truth even
though it remained unsupported by any evidence. As already
observed in Jacob Mathew case [(2005) 6 SCC 1 : 2005 SCC (Cri)
1369] the onus to prove medical negligence lies largely on the
claimant and that this onus can be discharged by leading cogent
evidence. A mere averment in a complaint which is denied by the
other side can, by no stretch of imagination, be said to be evidence
by which the case of the complainant can be said to be proved. It is
the obligation of the complainant to provide the facta probanda as
well as the facta probantia."
Kusum Sharma & Ors vs Batra Hospital &Med.Research Centre ... on 10 February, 2010
24. Following Jacob Mathew v. State of Punjab (supra), Hon‟ble
Apex Court in Kusum Sharma v. Batra Hospital, (2010) 3 SCC 480
laid down the principles to be considered while determining the charge
of medical negligence, which stand reiterated in M.A. Biviji v. Sunita,
(2024) 2 SCC 242 as under:-
Section 304A in The Indian Penal Code, 1860 [Entire Act]
M.A. Biviji vs Sunita on 19 October, 2023
35. Learned District Forum as well as learned State Commission
apparently missed the caution emphasized by Hon‟ble Apex Court in
M.A. Biviji v. Sunita & Ors. (supra) whereby it was observed that to
hold a medical practitioner liable for negligence, a higher threshold limit
must be met. This is to ensure that doctors are focused on deciding the
best course of treatment as per their assessment rather than being
concerned about possible prosecution or harassment that they may be
subjected to, in high-risk medical situations. Therefore, to safeguard
medical practitioners and to ensure that they are able to freely discharge
their medical duty, a higher proof of burden must be fulfilled by the
RP/1038/2020, 1183/2020, 182/2021, 681/2022, 682/2022, 683/2022 Page 36 of 38
complainant. The complainant should be able to prove a breach of duty
and the subsequent injury being attributable to the aforesaid breach. On
the other hand, doctors need to establish that they had followed
reasonable standards of medical practice.

Learned counsels for OPs further contended that PRP procedure
does not come under the purview of Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 and
is not regulated under the Schedule F. Reference to Rule 122G(i)
framed under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 by the learned State
Commission is stated to be erroneous as no licence is required for the
purpose of undertaking „PRP‟ procedure for hair re-growth. It is further
emphasized that complainant failed to substantiate the allegations of
misrepresentation by OP-2. It is pointed out that the complainant could

have discontinued the treatment after the first or second session, if he
was dissatisfied with the treatment in any manner. However, the
complaint was preferred by the complainant after more than two years of
completion of the third session merely because the results expected by
the complainant were not forthcoming. Reliance is further placed by the
