The high court has quashed charges against three city doctors earlier convicted by two local courts. The HC has also found fault with judicial officers of local courts for not properly going through documentary evidence before delivering verdict. While freeing local medical practitioners Kolli Ramadevi, Rajendra Prasad and Murthy from the charges of cheating, HC judge S Govinda Rajulu in a recent judgment said it was not proper to term the doctors guilty without taking the evidence into account.The legal battle against Ramadevi, an IVF specialist, began in 2000 when Kambhampati Bhaskara Rani approached the police with a complaint that the doctor and her team have deliberately misled her on her pregnancy and collected huge sums in the name of treatment. Radiologist Murthy also confirmed in August that Rani was pregnant. However, Rani met a gynaecologist at Siddartha Medical College where an assistant professor said she wasn't pregnant. The woman lodged a complaint in December 2000 charging that the IVF specialists had duped her with false promises. The 4th metropolitan sessions court in Vijayawada convicted Ramadevi, her assistant Rajendra Prasad and Murthy with two-year imprisonment in 2003. Subsequently, the women's special court in 2005 also found the doctors guilty and confirmed the lower court's order.

HC stays suspension of gay AMU prof
The Allahabad High Court on Thursday stayed the suspension of a Aligarh Muslim University professor against whom disciplinary action was taken following reports of his involvement in homosexual relationship. A division bench of Justice Sunil Ambawani and Justice Kashi Nath Pandey passed the order on a writ petition filed by Professor Srinivas Ramchandra Sirasi challenging the suspension order.
On February 19,AMU vicechancellor P K Abdul Azis had suspended Sirasi,a reader in the department of Modern Indian Languages,and asked him to vacate the varsity premises accusing him of misconduct following reports of his alleged homosexual relation with a rickshaw-puller,which had led to a furore in the minority educational institution. The court, while granting relief to the petitioner,asked the university authorities to file counter-affidavits within three weeks,fixing May 3 for next hearing of the case.
