Woman sues for failed vasectomy, HC orders CMO to act.

A woman approached the Allahabad High Court’s Lucknow bench, seeking compensation for the birth of her fifth child following a failed vasectomy operation.

The woman underwent a sterilisation procedure in 2019 but gave birth in 2021, despite having four children already.

Her claim for compensation under the Pariwar Niyojan Indemnity Scheme was not processed, leading her to seek legal assistance.

The court directed officials to re-examine her claim under the scheme and rectify any documentation issues.

The bench ensured that the woman’s case is given proper consideration and resolved within a specified timeline.
