Assault on doctors in Thane: SC notice to Ramesh Mhatre on plea by state challenging bail
The bench said those who attack doctors do not deserve bail and set a September 28 hearing on the state’s challenge to Mhatre’s release.
- The Supreme Court issued notice to Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre on Monday regarding a State plea challenging his bail for assaulting doctors at a Thane hospital in July.
- Previously, the Bombay High Court stayed a lower court's bail order, calling it "perverse," then granted bail with conditions that Mhatre, a Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation corporator, later challenged.
- Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta observed that attackers of doctors do not deserve bail, stating, "These people don't deserve to roam on the streets" as a deterrent.
- Mhatre must respond to the State's challenge within three weeks, with the matter scheduled for next hearing on September 28.
- Citing a separate incident yesterday in Palghar, the bench noted attacks on medical professionals are worsening and emphasized that strong action must deter similar violence.
