- A woman in Bengaluru successfully sued a dentist who accidentally cut her lip during orthodontic surgery, leading to a lasting scar.
- The woman originally sought Rs 30 lakh for the injury that required stitches and potentially plastic surgery, but was awarded Rs 60,000 instead.
- The dentist’s lawyer argued it was a minor laceration not from negligence, and the woman still owed Rs 85,000 in fees.
