The bench asked Ghaziabad-based super speciality St Joseph (Mariam) Hospital and Khajan Singh Mannvi Health Care to pay Rs 10 lakh and Rs two lakh to the father of the girl within four weeks.
When the child did not return, her father launched a search and found her lying unconscious and soaked in blood.
The family took her to the two private hospitals, which allegedly denied treatment.
The top court had, in April, flagged the "reluctance" of the Ghaziabad Police in lodging an FIR and conducting a probe in the case.
Hearing the matter on April 10, the apex court lambasted the Ghaziabad Police's "insensitive approach" in the investigation of the case.
