By this petition, the petitioner seeks the following reliefs: i) I beg Your Lordship to direct Private Hospitals to perform operations of amputations and especially amputations of hip bones only if required by experienced and expert Orthopaedic surgeons after informing the patient and the patient's family and after making provisions for blood and post operative care. ii) Alternatively I beg Your Lordship to decide in the best interest of the patient as failure of amputations and especially operations of hip bones amputations leaves a person suffering for life physically and mentally. iii) I beg Your Lordship to admit this PIL writ petition in the large interest of general public to avoid re-occurrences in future. 3.
