A Pune-based woman doctor has been convicted to three years of Rigorous Imprisonment and fined Rs 10,000 for illegally conducting the prohibition of the sex-selection test conducted in 2011.

On Tuesday, the Judicial Magistrate (First Class) Vishakha Patil convicted the accused doctor, Neena Matharani, along with Dr Makarand Ranade. But in the course of the court trial that was conducted, Dr Ranade passed away.

Magistrate Patil in her judgement observed that "The duo had not maintained any proper record of the patient's which itself shows their inconsistency. Such Sex-Determination Tests is a criminal act when actually, such a law should be implemented and followed. Considering the sex ratio downfall, there should be some strict action taken against them by the law and let this serve as an example to others in future."
