The court also ordered the government to provide free medical treatment for the woman hailing from Sattur while hearing a petition for ensuring safe blood transfusion and compensation for her.
The pregnant woman was transfused with HIV-infected blood last year in December as she was anaemic at the government hospital in Sattur.
She later delivered a baby in January this year who was not affected by HIV.
