IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) FRIDAY, THE EIGHTH DAY OF JULY TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY Writ Petition No.19093 of 2011 Between: D.John Samuel ..... Petitioner AND 1.The Director, NIMS Hospital, Punjagutta, Hyderabad .....Respondent Counsel for the Petitioner: Party-in-person Counsel for the Respondents: Mr.S.S.Bhatt The Court made the following: Order: This Writ Petition, filed by the petitioner, who appeared as party-in-person, for a Mandamus to direct the respondent to pay a sum of Rs.5 Crores as compensation on account of the death of his wife, to my mind, is wholly misconceived. The claim for compensation made in this Writ Petition is based on several allegations of negligence on the part of the Nizams Institute of Medical Sciences, whose Director is impleaded as respondent in this Writ Petition. These allegations cannot be adjudicated upon by this Court on the mere ipsi dixit of the petitioner and the same need to be substantiated by adducing oral and documentary evidence. Therefore, the appropriate remedy for the petitioner is to approach the Consumer Redressal Commission constituted under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to avail the alternative remedy. ______________________ (C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy, J) 8th July, 2011 lur
