The Supreme Court recently upheld an order passed by the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC), which found Kamineni Hospitals vicariously liable for the doctor’s medical negligence.Vicarious liability is a legal concept where one party is held responsible for the actions of another due to a specific relationship, such as that between an employer and employee.
