The Delhi Medical Council through its Executive Committee examined a complaint of Shri Baljeet Singh s/o. Shri Balvir Singh r/o. 13/01, Kalyanpuri, Delhi – 110091, forwarded by Directorate of Health Services, alleging medical negligence on the part of Dr. V.A.S. Kumar, in the treatment administered to the complainant at Kukreja Hospital, D-36, Acharya Niketan, Mayur Vihar Phase-1, Delhi – 110091.
The Order of the Executive Committee dated 20th May, 2013 is reproduced hereinbelow:-
“The Executive Committee of the Delhi Medical Council examined a complaint of Shri Baljeet Singh s/o. Shri Balvir Singh r/o. 13/10, Kalyanpuri, Delhi – 110091 (referred hereinafter as the complainant), forwarded by Directorate of Health Services, alleging medical negligence on the part of Dr. V.A.S. Kumar, in the treatment administered to the complainant at Kukreja Hospital, D-36, Acharya Niketan, Mayur Vihar Phase-1, Delhi – 110091 (referred hereinafter as the said Hospital).
The Executive Committee perused the complaint and other documents attached therewith.
The Executive Committee observed that the complainant fell from height and sustained injuries to both the ankles. On left side it was fracture of calcaneum and neck of talus. On the right side, it was only the fracture of the neck of talus. He was operated on both sides in said Hospital by

Dr. V.A.S. Kumar. The surgery was required as the fracture segments were displacedand rightfully he was operated. It is known that fracture talus takes a long time to unite and it can result to stiffness of the ankle joint. As to the version of the client that there was no fracture and he was unnecessarily operated is unsound and irrational.
In light of the observations made hereinabove, it is the decision ofthe Executive Committee that prima-facie no case of medical negligence is made out on the part of Dr. V.A.S. Kumar, in the treatment administered to the complainant at Kukreja Hospital.
Complaint stands disposed.
