Ex RG Kar College Principal Sandip Ghosh moves SC against

NEW DELHI: Former principal of R G Kar Medical College and Hospital Sandip Ghosh has approached the Supreme Court, contending that the Calcutta High Court did not hear his side before passing the order of handing over the investigation to the central agency to alleged financial irregularities over there.

The Supreme Court cause list uploaded on the website showed a bench of Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud and Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra would hear the plea by Ghosh on September 06.

Ghosh faced serious allegations  of financial and administrative misconduct and mishandling the August 9 medicos rape and murder case.

Within days of his arrest by CBI for his alleged role in possible financial irregularities at R G Kar College and Hospital, he claimed that the HC made a comment linking the incident of rape in the hospital to corruption unnecessarily, and without any basis and substance.

On August 23, the High Court had directed for a CBI probe into the alleged corruption charges against Ghosh.

Prima facie, there are serious violations and irregularities been seem to be committed by Ghosh, the High Court had said, directing the CBI probe.

The Supreme Court had earlier taken Suo motu cognisance of the brutal and horrific incident of the rape and murder of the 31-year-old trainee PG doctor.

It had also questioned the state government's move to shift Ghosh from R G Kar College and Hospital and appoint him in another college after the incident sparked country wide outrage.

The High Court had also slammed the delay in the registration of the FIR and inconsistencies in the timings regarding the entries for unnatural death of the victim.

The CBI had earlier claimed that the crime scene, at the R G Kar Medical and College Hospital, was altered.

The court had also noted the state police told the parents that it was a suicide, but later on, said, it was a murder. The bench had then also questioned laxity of the police and their failure to control a mob attack on the hospital premises subsequently on August 14.
