The Calcutta High Court has turned down a request from Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of R.G. Kar Medical College & Hospital, for more time in a financial case. Ghosh is accused of being involved in multi-crore financial irregularities during his time as principal. The court’s decision means the process of formally charging him will move forward.
Ghosh and others involved in the case asked the Calcutta High Court for more time, but their request was denied on Wednesday. This isn’t the first time Ghosh has tried to delay the case. The court has repeatedly said that the case needs to move forward without further delays. The charges are related to significant financial problems that were found at the medical college while he was principal.
A source familiar with the investigation said that the legal fight has been going on for several months. The court’s decision shows how important it is to hold people responsible for their actions. The financial irregularities case has gotten a lot of attention because it involves large sums of money and could affect the medical college’s resources.
With the rejection of Ghosh’s request, the special court can now begin the process of formally charging him and the other accused. This is an important step in the legal process, bringing the case closer to a possible trial and resolution. The outcome of this case could have major consequences for accountability in public institutions.
