The Supreme Court on Friday accepted the government’s response on the compensation formula it had arrived at for victims of faulty hip implants manufactured by Johnson & Johnson (J&J). The top court also asked the central government to give wide publicity to the scheme so that the victims could come and claim compensation.
Disposing off the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed in the case, a two-judge bench of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice S K Kaul considered the response filed by the Health Ministry and said that steps had been taken to provide compensation to the victims.
