Supreme Court Orders Ghaziabad Hospitals to Pay ₹12 Lakh Compensation

The Supreme Court has directed two private hospitals in Ghaziabad to pay ₹12 lakh to the family of a four-year-old rape-murder victim.

The compensation follows a judicial finding that the hospitals committed a grave lapse by turning away the critically injured child, contributing to her death.

This verdict sets a legal precedent for medical accountability, ensuring that emergency care cannot be denied to victims of violent crimes.
