HC saves doctor from losing MBBS degree, ophthalmology diploma
To a great relief of a doctor who has about to lose his MBBS degree and PG diploma in Ophthalmology, the division bench of Maharashtra High Court has partially struck down an order of the Director of Medical Education and Research (DMER) and upheld Rs 10.93 lakh penalty.
Previously authorities ordered the college to cancel the degree of the doctor alleging that he has secured admission through the Scheduled Tribe category by producing a fabricated caste validity certificate.
The doctor has been identified as a 30-year-old Kurla resident who pursued his MBBS degree from a state-run Medical College in 2015 and completed a postgraduate diploma in ophthalmology in June 2019. He also completed his one-year internship in April 2016. However, it was found that he secured his medical seat at Seth GS Medical College and KEM Hospital under the Scheduled Tribe quota by providing a fake caste certificate.
