The compensation has to be paid within two months from the date of the judgement, it said.
Jennifer Bharucha , who filed a petition in 2012 on behalf of her mother seeking compensation, said her late mother had to undergo several revision surgeries due to the faulty hip implant that the company later recalled. "The court has ruled in our favour, recognising the merits of our case and delivering justice..
.It's taken us more than a decade to win this case. It was a long struggle," Bharucha told ET.

J&J, which had recalled the acetabular surface replacement ( ASR ) implant in 2010, said it is "reviewing the order". "Our commitment to the patients we serve is reflected through the company's decisions leading up to the voluntary recall of the ASR Hip System and subsequent actions, including a reimbursement programme for recall-related medical expenses and voluntary payment to eligible ASR revision patients," the company said in a statement to ET. "Johnson & Johnson has been making voluntary payments of ₹25 lakh to eligible ASR revision patients in India .
As the matter is sub-judice, it would not be appropriate to make further comment," it added. In its order, the NCDRC said if the company had paid ₹25 lakh, it would be adjusted against the final compensation. (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel ).
