The Bombay High Court cancels the bail granted to Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre in a hospital assault case involving a doctor in Dombivli. According to reports, the High Court sets aside the earlier bail decision issued by the Kalyan Judicial Magistrate First Class Court and directs Mhatre to surrender to police within a specific deadline. The court orders that he comply with the surrender directive by the evening of Sunday, July 19. One report says the court takes issue with the magistrate court’s handling of the bail matter, including the absence of consideration of criminal antecedents.
Following the High Court’s order, Mhatre surrenders a day later and is taken into custody. After surrender, he is sent to judicial custody until August 3. The matter is also listed for further hearing, including a date mentioned as July 22, as the case continues in court.
