Limitation Period in Medical Negligence Cases: A Critique of Discovery Rule!

Author(s) S Radha Pyari
Country India
Abstract From a legal stand point of view, “Limitation Period” (hereinafter ‘LP’) connotes both a legal right and a duty. It is a legal right for a person against whom legal proceedings are instituted (broadly in civil proceedings, in criminal proceedings different set of rules pertaining to Limitation are envisaged under Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973). Such person has legal right to challenge the very institution of civil proceedings, if the case is filed beyond limitation. It is a matter of legal duty for a person who has a right to seek legal remedy to institute civil proceeding within the envisaged limitation period. The law governing limitation period is governed under the Limitation Act, 1963. In select statutes, like Consumer Protection Act, 2019 a separate limitation period is envisaged.

In the realm of medical negligence cases filed before Consumer Commissions, what is the limitation period for filing original Complaint? How do we compute such limitation period is the most crucial issue. This Article elucidates the law and critically evaluates the Supreme Court’s guidance in the form of Discovery Rule.
