SC respite to Dr Paltewar, grants interim protection from arrest

Nagpur: The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted interim protection from arrest to Dr Sameer Paltewar and issued notices to the Maharashtra government. The case is related to infighting between directors of Meditrina Hospital and the company which manages it. Various litigations connected to the issue are already pending in civil as well as criminal courts.
The bench of the apex court comprising justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Hrishikesh Roy, however, also directed the applicant doctor to cooperate with the investigating agency. In July-end, the Bombay high court had rejected Dr Paltewar’s anticipatory bail plea.
Senior advocate Ranjit Kumar and advocate Aakash Gupta appeared for Dr Paltewar.
