<span style="color: #222222;">The Bombay High Court today refused permission to three women doctors accused of abetting the suicide of their junior colleague Payal Tadvi to complete their post-graduation at B Y L Nair Hospital in Mumbai. Justice Sadhana Jadhav noted that the three doctors – Hema Ahuja, Bhakti Meher and Ankita Khandelwal – are graduates and can pursue post-graduation after trial in the case is complete. </span><br />'' <br />'' <span style="color: #222222;">The high court also directed the Special Court to complete the trial within a period of ten months. The court was informed by Special Public Prosecutor Raja Thakare and Head of Nair Hospital Gynaecology Department Ganesh Shinde that the staff and other junior doctors are skeptical and not comfortable with the return of the three doctors to the hospital.</span><br />'' <span style="color: #222222;"><br />'' Replying to a suggestion made by the accused doctors' counsel Aabad Ponda that the trio could be shifted to another unit of the Gynaecology Department, Thakare said that it would not be possible as the staff, who are important witnesses in the case, are the same across all units.</span><br />'' <span style="color: #222222;"><br />'' Justice Jadhav accepted this statement and said that permission to enter the Nair Hospital premises to complete post- graduation course cannot be granted and disposed of the trio's petition. The High Court had, in August 2019, while granting bail to the three doctors, directed them to not enter the civic-run Nair Hospital where the incident took place and had also suspended their medical license till the end of the trial.</span><br />'' <span style="color: #222222;"><br />'' Justice Jadhav today said, it was not right to have suspended their medical licenses as this court did not have the jurisdiction to do so while hearing a bail plea. The court noted that the Maharashtra Medical Council has already initiated inquiry into the issue and shall take appropriate decision on suspension of their licenses.</span><br />'' <span style="color: #222222;"><br />'' Payal Tadvi, a second-year postgraduate medical student attached to B Y L Nair Hospital, had committed suicide on 22nd of May last year inside her hostel room in the hospital premises.</span><br />''  <br />
