The Supreme Court has stayed the Bombay High Court's decision to grant bail to Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre, who faces allegations of assaulting doctors and staff at a KDMC-run hospital in Dombivli. The court directed Mhatre to surrender within three days, emphasizing that the medical profession should be respected. Justice Vikram Nath and Justice Sandeep Mehta expressed their concern about the blatant violation of hospital staff.
Mhatre's defense attorney, Siddharth Dave, argued that the trial had commenced and that two witnesses had already been examined. The bench noted that there were nearly 19 criminal cases registered against Mhatre, but Dave claimed that the majority had been politically motivated and that Mhatre had been acquitted in 18 of them. The incident occurred on July 6 when family members accused hospital staff of delaying treatment for a pregnant woman. The High Court had previously granted bail to Mhatre and four others in the case.
