The Supreme Court of India has awarded ₹15 lakh in compensation to a father whose son died due to medical negligence. The court found that the hospital and its doctors were responsible for the patient's death. This decision came after a long legal battle by the father seeking justice for his son. 

The case involved a young man who was admitted to the hospital for treatment. However, he was discharged prematurely while still in critical condition. The hospital claimed the discharge was due to the patient's misbehavior, but the court found no evidence to support this claim. The court emphasized that a doctor cannot withdraw treatment from a critically ill patient, regardless of the circumstances. 

The Supreme Court's ruling highlights the importance of accountability in the medical profession. It serves as a reminder that hospitals and doctors have a duty to provide proper care to their patients. The compensation awarded aims to provide some relief to the grieving family and underscores the consequences of medical negligence.
