Supreme Court Orders Shiv Sena Corporator Ramesh Mhatre To Surrender By October 5 In Doctors' Assault Case

The Supreme Court has mandated Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) corporator Ramesh Sukrya Mhatre to appear before the Kalyan trial court by October 5, as part of an ongoing assault case on doctors at Shastri Nagar Hospital in Dombivli. Failure to comply with this deadline could see the court take measures to secure his custody. The court's decision follows its recent cancellation of bail granted to Mhatre and other accused in the case. The court's order was published on the Supreme Court's website on Thursday.

The case centers around an alleged assault on doctors at the KDMC-run Shastri Nagar Hospital. Earlier, the Bombay High Court had granted bail to the accused under certain conditions. Subsequently, the State government contested the bail order before the Supreme Court. The court expressed strong disapproval of violence against medical professionals and ordered that the trial be concluded within six months. It also directed that witnesses receive adequate protection during the proceedings.

Mhatre and the other accused have been given the option to surrender to the trial court and pursue suitable legal recourse, as per the law. However, until they surrender, the trial court is authorized to implement measures to ensure their custody. Notably, another accused, Sadhana Karande, is already incarcerated in Aadharwadi Jail, Kalyan.
