She was 14 years old when she fell ill on a school tour
The Supreme Court has confirmed nearly ₹90 lakh in compensation for a woman bedridden for 15 years after her teachers neglected to get her timely medical aid for a fever she developed during a school tour. Akshatha was a 14-year-old from Bengaluru when she left for the educational tour with other students and teachers in December 2006. The case records show the group visited several places in north India before she was taken ill. Her viral fever was later diagnosed as Meningo Encephalitis. “The doctors opined that had she been given timely medical aid and attention, she could easily have been cured. Ultimately she had to be airlifted in an air ambulance to Bangalore,” a Bench led by Justice Navin Sinha said in its order.
