• P.S
  Govindarajan v General Manager ,
  Integral Coach Factory & Ors
  
  1993(2) CPJ 1211 (TN SCDRC) 
  
    
  
  The complainant’s wife suffered a
  massive heart attack and died soon
  after on that very day. The claim
  against the opposite parties was that
  they sent an  ambulance van
  without the Oxygen Cylinder and had
  she been put on the Oxygen while in
  this van she would have survived. The
  commission did not accept this
  contention, for within 10 minutes she
  had been taken to the hospital, where
  the best treatment was provided but in
  vain. The reason for non provision of
  oxygen cylinder in the ambulance was
  leaking cylinder due to which it had
  been sent for repairs, hence no
  negligence inferred.
