Dr Chhaya Tated, a homoeopath from Aurangabad and Dr Shubhangi Adkar, who runs a private maternity and nursing home at Dadar here, were recently found guilty of violating the Act, in a case filed against them five years ago.
Dr Tated had published an advertisement offering “special treatment to those who wanted a baby (boy)”. She used to come to nursing home of Dr Adkar to practice twice in a month. Both doctors pleaded leniency but the court turned their plea saying although they were respectable members of society they had committed a serious crime.
