Supreme Court Upholds Bail Restrictions for Corporator Accused of Assaulting Doctors
The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision to stay bail for Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre, accused of assaulting doctors and nurses at a Dombivli hospital. The court emphasized that those who attack medical professionals do not deserve bail, citing the trauma caused by such incidents. While bail was granted with strict conditions, including Mhatre staying outside Maharashtra until the chargesheet is filed, the court underscored the seriousness of violence against healthcare workers and its impact on public trust.
