Case Analysis: Medical Negligence-Jacob Mathew v. State of Punjab & Anr. (2005) 6 SCC 1

 The Court went onto say that professional negligence and occupational negligence cannot be equated together. A simple lack of care or an error of judgement or an accident is not proof of negligence is not negligence on part of the medical professional. So long as the doctor follows a “practice acceptable” to the medical profession of that day, he cannot be made liable for negligence merely because an alternative method of treatment was available.

The Doctor was found not-guilty and charges against him were quashed.

Case Analysis: Medical Negligence-Spring Meadows Hospital and Anr v. Harjol Ahluwalia and Anr. (1998) 4 SCC 39.

The Supreme Court observed that “The true position is that an error of judgement may, or may not, be negligent, it depends on the nature of the error. If it is one that would not have been made by a reasonably competent professional man professing to have the standard and type of skill that the defendant holds himself out as having, and acting with ordinary care, then it is negligence. If on the other hand, it is an error that such a man, acting with ordinary care, might have made, then it is not negligence.” Case Analysis: Medical Negligence-Spring Meadows Hospital and Anr v.
