Few responsibilities in a civilised society are as profound as that entrusted to a doctor, says SC, while cancelling Ramesh Mhatre’s bail

In a significant move, the Supreme Court of India has revoked the bail of Ramesh Mhatre, a 73-year-old municipal corporator, following his arrest for allegedly attacking medical professionals. Initially granted bail in July, Mhatre’s case was revisited owing to reservations expressed by the High Court regarding the broader implications for democracy.
