For 12 years, I’ve been struggling with the consequences of a medical procedure that went wrong. I’ve taken my case to the State Commission, the National Commission, and even the Supreme Court, but they all dismissed it, saying there was no negligence. My health is now worse than ever, and I’m worried about the long-term effects. Can I reopen my case with new evidence that connects my current health issues to the earlier operation?

Under Indian law, reopening a case after dismissal is challenging, but possible with compelling new evidence. You may need to file a review petition, highlighting the new evidence and its direct connection to the previous medical procedure. The court will consider the gravity of your situation and the nature of the evidence.
