Bombay High Court Dismisses Wockhardt Hospitals' Suit Against Doctor Over Notice Period
The Bombay High Court dismissed Wockhardt Hospitals' claim seeking over Rs 1.23 crore in damages from Dr. Nitish Vyas, who resigned with seven days' notice instead of the agreed three months. The court ruled the hospital failed to provide concrete evidence of actual financial loss, emphasizing that damages under the Indian Contract Act require proof of real loss, not probable or estimated damages. The hospital's appeal followed a civil court's earlier dismissal for lack of material evidence.
