Consumer Commissions Order Refunds in Punjab Dental and Haryana Medical College Cases
Two consumer commission rulings in Punjab and Haryana addressed disputes involving medical services. In Punjab, a dentist was ordered to pay Rs 79,000 to a UK patient after a dental bridge repeatedly broke post-treatment, with the commission rejecting the dentist's defense about patient care. In Haryana, a private medical college was directed to refund Rs 2.40 lakh to a former MBBS student who lost the original receipt for security deposits, as documentary evidence supported his claim and the college failed to prove lawful adjustment of funds.
