Kantikar and Dinesh Singh, Members, allowed an appeal filed against the order of Delhi State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission whereby the appellant\u2019s petition was dismissed at the stage of maintainability itself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The appellant had filed a complaint against the respondents for medical negligence. One of the respondents had prescribed a medicine for appellant\u2019s husband; however, the pharmacist (OP-2) gave the wrong medicine. The appellant\u2019s husband died because of taking the wrong medicine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The main issue that arose before the Commission was whether the present dispute amounts to a consumer dispute and hence whether it can be adjudicated upon under the provisions of Consumer Protection Act, 1986.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Commission observed that the State Commission had cited the case of <em>Bright Transport Co. Ltd. v. Sangli Sehkari Bank Ltd., <\/em>II (2012) CPJ 151 (NC) wherein it was held that complaints which are based on allegations of fraud, forgery, etc. and trial of which would require voluminous evidence and consideration are not to be entertained by the consumer fora. However, in the instant case the appellant had neither alleged fraud nor did she allege forgery on the part of respondents.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Commission held that it was a case of medical negligence and deficiency in services and it does not require recording of voluminous evidence and consideration, as may make the adjudication of this case unfeasible or prescribed in consumer fora. The allegations of medical negligence and deficiency of services is a complaint within the meaning of Section 2(1)(c) of the 1986 Act and would convert into a \u201cconsumer dispute\u201d within the meaning of Section 2(1)(e) if the opposite parties dispute or deny the allegations contained in the complaint.
