Allahabad HC relief to Sanjay Gandhi hospital, stays Govt suspension of license
Lucknow: The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court has stayed the Uttar Pradesh government's order suspending the license of Sanjay Gandhi Hospital in Amethi over the death of a 22-year-old woman after surgery.
A division bench of Justice Vivek Chaudhary and Justice Manish Kumar said that inquiry against the hospital would go on, and asked the state government to file its counter-affidavit.
The court passed the order on a writ petition filed by the hospital's Chief Operating Officer Avadhesh Sharma against the government's order.
Appearing for the petitioner, senior counsel J.N. Mathur argued that the suspension order was not sustainable as it was passed "due to political reasons".
The state government contended that the hospital had no licence to conduct surgeries but it was doing so and hence the incident, in which a woman died after a minor surgery, took place.
