💨 Abstract

The Delhi High Court has ruled that harassment faced by clients during insurance claim approvals in hospitals can be grounds for seeking compensation but does not constitute a criminal offense. The court acknowledged the frequent harassment of patients in the settlement of final bills and recommended addressing this issue by authorities. The court also refused to interfere with a sessions court's decision regarding a lawyer's complaint against a private hospital, as no offense was found to have been committed.
