NAVj அதிரடி உத்தரவு The only negligence that can be deciphered from the materials available before this Court is that on 24.06.2021 a Staff Nurse namely, Yogalakshmi administered the drug on the patient Ramadoss and half way through, the petitioner’s son found that the drug had crossed the expiry date. This certainly caused a lot of anxiety and mental agony to the petitioner’s son. The duty doctor was consoling the petitioner’s son that even by administering the Dextrose drug after the expiry date, it will not cause any adverse impact on the patient. This explanation is more in the nature of an excuse for the negligent act on the part of the Staff Nurse, who administered this drug on the patient Ramadoss. This act cannot be said to be an error of professional judgment and it is a clear case of negligence in utilizing a drug after the shelf life of the drug had expired. To that extent, this Court is inclined to attribute negligence on the fourth respondent and direct payment of compensation on this ground. While doing so, this Court has taken into consideration the principles that were restated in the recent judgment of the Hon’ble Apex Court in CPL Ashish Kumar Chauhan vs. Commanding Officer and others reported in 2023 SCC Online SC 1220 : 2023 (6) MLJ 8 (SC). 15. In the light of the above discussion, there shall be a direction to the respondents to pay compensation of a sum of Rs.1,00,000/- to the petitioner, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 16. In the result, this Writ Petition is disposed of with the above direction. No costs.
