The Supreme Court ruled that claims for compensation in medical negligence cases can be made against the legal heirs of a deceased doctor, with liability limited to the estate they inherited.
Justice JK Maheshwari and AS Chandurkar noted that while claims for personal injury do not survive the death of a party, those involving financial liability may nevertheless continue against the estate.
