Sandip Ghosh's wife moves Calcutta HC seeking reconsideration of his registration cancellation
Calcutta High Court
Kolkata: The wife of the prime suspect, Sandip Ghosh in the RG Kar rape and murder of a PG trainee doctor case approached the Calcutta High Court seeking reconsideration of the West Bengal Medical Council's decision of cancelling Sandip's registration as a medical practitioner. In response, the Calcutta High Court has instructed the council to review the appeal submitted by her.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that after failing to respond to a show cause notice issued to the former principal of RG Kar Medical College Sandip Ghosh, the West Bengal Medical Council (WBMC) cancelled his medical registration following allegations of his involvement in financial irregularities at the state-run hospital during his tenure.
The show cause notice was issued to Ghosh on September 7 seeking a satisfactory reply. The council had earlier warned him that failure to respond would lead to cancellation of his registration from the council. However, he failed to respond to the notice for over a week.
The vacation bench, led by Justice Shampa Dutt (Paul) on Tuesday was hearing a plea moved by Sansip Ghosh's wife Sangeeta Ghosh. Her counsel argued that an order issued on September 19, 2024, led to the removal of Sandip's name from the West Bengal Medical Council's register of registered medical practitioners.
