HC junks plea of doctor accused in MBBS Admission fraud, expresses concern on desperation of parents
Nagpur: Expressing concern over the increasing cases of fraud for admission to medical courses, the Nagpur bench of Bombay High Court recently referred to the desperation on the part of the parents to see their children get admitted to professional course like medicines.
Such observations came from the HC bench while it dismissed a plea filed by one Dr Lokpriya Sakhare, assistant professor at a Government Medical College who was accused of being involved in such a fraud case, where the parents of a medical aspirant were duped of Rs 41 lakh in this regard.
"This case has a genesis of how parents are desperate to see that their progeny/child/ward is admitted in professional course like medicines and for that there can be allurement by the sharks which are having a free swing in the society and they always look for their pray and such parents are the easiest one," the HC bench comprising of Justice V.M. Deshpande and Justice Amit B. Borkar noted while dismissing the plea.
Dr. Shilpa Suresh Dhekle, a Medical Practitioner at Pune had filed an FIR with Police Station, Ajni, Nagpur against the petitioner doctor, Dr. Lokpriya Uddhav Sakhare.
Meanwhile, a proposal was submitted by the Economic Offences Wing to the Competent Authority under the Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime (MCOC) Act, 1999 seeking accord of sanction to invoke the provisions of the MCOC Act against the petitioner doctor and the Director General of Police sanctioned the same. Following this, challenging the sanction order, the petitioner doctor approached the High Court.
