HC relief to Gynaecologist who was booked after 6 F forms of 1,837 were found unsigned
Ahmedabad: In a major relief to a city-based gynaecologist, the Gujarat High Court has directed the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) to remove the seal put on the sonography machine at his hospital, that was put by the authorities on grounds of violation of PC-PNDT Act
The case relates to one Dr Shah, who owns a Nursing Home in the area. On May 2019, the AMC health team raided the hospital and sealed a sonography machine then and there for alleged breach of the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PC& PNDT) Act. Apart from this, the AMC registered a criminal case against the doctor under the PC&PNDT Act.
The gynaecologist was booked on the grounds that out of 1,837 F forms, six forms were found unsigned. AMC accused him of violation of PC&PNDT Act for the six unsigned forms.
This did not stop here as after a month the authorities moved to suspend the registration of Dr Shah's clinic till the final conclusion of the case. The gynaecologist said that he was not even informed about the suspension of registration. He further came to know that the license of his clinic was also suspended
