उत्तर
'P' can claim damages from 'S'
Explanation:
Written consent for surgery was given by 'P' to surgeon 'S'. The consent was given only for the act of removal of appendicitis. However, 'S' also removed the gall bladder of 'A' for which no consent was given. This act was therefore carried out without the permission and approval of 'P'. In this case, 'S' acted sans valid consent. There is disobedience to the right of the patient's autonomy. (Ram Bihari Lal v Dr. J. N. Srivastava. AIR 1985 MP 150).
