HC grants bail to Doctor Accused of Illegal Kidney Transplant at Hyderabad Hospital

The hospital, which was inaugurated only six months ago, was only permitted to perform minor surgeries under two doctors. Following the authorities' busting the racket, Dr. *** was arrested on January 27, 2025, and remained in judicial custody until recently being granted bail.

Single Bench Justice J Sreenivas Rao, who heard the bail application, noted that most of the investigation in the case had been completed and ruled that the doctor's release would not hinder further proceedings. 

Further, the bench imposed conditions, including a bail bond of ₹25,000 with two sureties and a mandatory appearance before the concerned police station on the 5th of every month for three months or until the charge sheet is filed.

As per the Telangana Today news report, the counsel appearing for the petitioner argued that the petitioner did not commit any offence and was being falsely implicated in the crime. He said the petitioner was arrested on January 27, 2025, and was presently in judicial custody while other accused persons with serious allegations were already granted bail in the same case.

Whereas the Public Prosecutors representing the State contended that the petitioner conspired with other doctors and performed surgery illegally even after knowing the said act was a grievous offence.

After considering both sides, the court ruled in favor of the doctor and granted him bail, noting the progress of the investigation.
