NEW DELHI: The West Bengal state consumer commission has directed Ispat Cooperative Hospital in South 24 Parganas to refund Rs 2 lakh to a patient after finding that the hospital charged him for an intensive care bed even though its own records showed that he had stayed in a general ward. The commission also directed the hospital to pay Rs 50,000 as compensation and Rs 25,000 towards litigation costs.
