On Friday, the NCDRC fixed Rs 1,77,87,500 as the amount of compensation. Of this, Saha would get Rs 1,55,60,000 within eight weeks. The NCDRC said the hospital and Dr Mukherjee would have to pay Rs 40.40 lakh each, and Dr Halder and Dr Prasad Rs 26.93 lakh each. The court has also awarded compensation of Rs 5 lakh towards cost of litigation. As Dr Chaudhury is no more, the compensation amount to be paid by him was deducted.
