Senior Hematologist, Pharmacologist Get HC Relief in Disproportionate Assets Case
Citing a lack of prima facie evidence and an inordinate delay of over eight years in completing the investigation, the Orissa High Court has granted relief to two doctors - Senior Haematologist and Pharmacologist associated with a medical college in Odisha by quashing a disproportionate asset case against them.
The Court was hearing petitions filed by a doctor couple, where the husband was accused of abusing his official position by allegedly prescribing expensive chemotherapy drugs to 14 patients under the State-sponsored Odisha State Treatment Fund (OSTF) scheme in 2017. Following this, Vigilance authorities conducted searches and registered a case against him and his wife for allegedly possessing disproportionate assets.
