Payal Tadvi Suicide Case: SC Permits Accused Doctors to Pursue PG Course
News 18The Supreme Court Thursday permitted three lady doctors, who are accused in a case of suicide by a doctor of Mumbai-based medical college last year due to alleged caste-based discrimination, to go back to the college and hospital to pursue their studies of post graduate medical course. The three doctors, who are pursuing post graduate medical course in Gynaecology and Obstetrics and have completed two years out of three years course are accused of harassing Dr Payal Tadvi who had committed suicide on May 22 last year. The top court delivered the verdict on an appeal filed by these three doctors against the February this year order of the high court which had refused to relax one of the conditions imposed on them in August last year while granting them bail in the case. It said these three doctors shall be permitted to pursue their courses of study regardless of the May last year order of suspension, which was passed by the college while taking cognisance of the FIR registered against them.
