Not every death due to corona can be considered medical negligence, compensation denied: Supreme Court

The Supreme Court on Wednesday said that courts cannot hold that all deaths due to COVID-19 in the second wave of the pandemic were due to negligence.

The Supreme Court refused to entertain a petition seeking compensation to the kin of the victims as medical negligence.

A bench of Justice DY Chandrachud, Justice Vikram Nath, and Justice Hima Kohli asked the petitioner Deepak Raj Singh to approach the competent authorities with his suggestions.

The bench said, ‘A large number of deaths occurred during the second wave and how is it possible to compensate the family by treating every death due to corona as medical negligence.

The second wave had such an impact across the country that it cannot be assumed that all deaths were due to negligence.

Courts cannot infer that all COVID deaths were due to medical negligence, as your petition says.

The apex court referred to a recent judgment of June 30, in which it directed the National Disaster Management Authority to recommend appropriate guidelines within six weeks for ex-gratia assistance to the family members of persons who died due to COVID-19.

“In that judgment, the court has considered with respect to humanity and not because of negligence.”

The government is yet to come out with the policy. If you have any suggestion regarding the implementation of that policy, you can approach the competent authority.’
