Sacked from Escorts, cardiologist Naresh Trehan found an unexpected saviour in Anil Nanda, on whose petition the Delhi High Court permitted him to treat his patients and unrestricted entry into the institute owned by Fortis Healthcare.
Acting on a petition by Anil Nanda, who had earlier opposed elder brother Rajan Nanda from selling majority stake in Escorts Heart Institute and Research Centre (EHIRC) to Fortis in 2005, Justice Gita Mittal said, "he (Trehan) will be allowed to treat his patients. He will have unrestricted access to the hospital."
The ruling comes at the end of the day, during which high drama was staged at EHIRC, where Trehan and Fortis MD Shivinder Mohan Singh were engaged publicly in hurling charges and counter charges.
Directing that the hospital will run normally and Trehan and his team of doctors will be allowed to carry out their routine function in the hospital, Justice Mittal fixed next hearing on the matter for August 6.
Senior Advocate Mukul Rohtagi appearing for Nanda submitted that the decision of the Fortis management was violative of the September 2005 order of the High Court, which said status quo on the stake holding of EHIRC and its management be maintained.
A day after announcing that Trehan had ‘relinquished’ from the post of Executive Director of EHIRC, a defiant Trehan hit back saying the management did not have the power to do so and cited the status quo ordered by Delhi High Court in the case related to sale of EHIRC.
"My contract was with EHIRC society for 20 years starting from 1990 up to 2010. As per the HC order on maintaining the status-quo, the Fortis management cannot terminate the contract," Trehan said.
Fortis Hospitals MD Shivinder Mohan Singh said Trehan's administrative powers have been ‘terminated’, due to conflict of interest following his increased involvement in his Medicity project.
