We are happy to note that during the pendency of this Revision Petition, the contesting parties have entered into an out of court amicable settlement. As per the terms of settlement, on the Petitioner’s paying to the Complainant a lump sum amount of ₹1,00,000/-, by way of ex gracia payment as also withdrawing its Civil Suit filed against the Complainant and on Complainant’s withdrawing all allegations of alleged negligence on the part of the treating doctor/Petitioner, the Complainant shall not be left with any claim in respect of the Complaint, giving rise to the present Revision Petition, against the Petitioner. Since a sum of ₹2,77,000/- is stated to have already been deposited in the State Commission, we direct that out of the said amount, a sum of ₹1,00,000/- shall be released to the Complainant by means of a Pay Order/Demand Draft in her favour by the State Commission and the balance amount, along with accrued interest, if any, shall be refunded to the Petitioner forthwith. On such payments, the orders passed by the Fora below shall stand set aside. The husband of the Complainant, who is present in person, states that he would ensure that the public at large is assured that there was no negligence on the part of the treating doctor in treating in wife and the pain and sufferings undergone by the Complainant could not be attributed to the Petitioner. The Revision Petition stands disposed of in the above terms. |
