Radhamma alleged that her husband Venugopalan Nair, Head Constable Driver attached to the Armed Reserve Camp, Thiruvananthapuram City, had died due to denial of medical treatment by the Duty Officer of City Police Control Room. Vide proceedings dated 29 August 2007, the Commission recommended that the Government of Kerala should pay Rs. 50,000 as monetary relief to Smt. Radhamma on the ground that the State failed to provide timely medical help and consequently, the complainant lost the bread-winner of the family. The State Government has challenged the recommendation of the Commission in a Writ Petition No. 36890/07 in the High Court of Kerala. The High Court, vide order dated 13 December 2007, has granted interim stay to the Government of Kerala for three months. The matter is still under consideration of the High Court.

Shiela Mathai alleged that her daughter Sunita, a CGHS beneficiary, who was undergoing treatment for 'cerebral seizure' at Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital (RMLH), New Delhi suffered fits of severe depression and violent behaviour because of negligence of the CGHS Dispensary at Pushp Vihar as it issued a wrong medicine namely “THIORIL-50” in place of medicine “THAI (70mg)”, that was prescribed by the Doctor of RMLH.
