Dr Asaram Khade, head of the Maharashtra PC-PNDT nodal cell told The Indian Express that 39 of the 54 doctors on the list have been convicted and the remaining 15 have charges framed against them in courts. Besides, two lists of seven doctors each have been sent to the Ayurveda and Homeopathy Council for similar action.
The
Bombay HC in its order on October 22 had directed MMC to suspend
doctors convicted for violating the Act and take action against those
against whom charges have been framed. The HC had stated that names of
medical practitioners who have flouted the Act be reported to the
medical council by the authority implementing the Act for action.
The
action includes suspension of registration till the case is disposed of
if charges have been framed in court. In case of conviction in a lower
court, the doctor would not be allowed to practise until the case is
disposed of by an appellate court.
Those
convicted will be struck off the council register for five years for
the first offence (unless the higher courts absolve the doctor), and
permanently for a subsequent offence. According to Khade, MMC had placed
20 doctors under temporary suspension while one doctor, Dr M Nagane,
has been permanently suspended. Twelve doctors, most of them from Pune
have been issued a warning.
