The Bombay High Court has upheld the conviction of Dr. Anil Pinto in connection with the death of a patient 40 years ago. The court, however, refused to direct him to undergo the 10-day sentence imposed on him considering his age.

A single bench of Justice Bharati Dangre, also enhanced the fine imposed by the magistrate`s court on Dr Anil Pinto from Rs 5000 to Rs 5 lakh, of which Rs 4.90 lakh will have to be paid to the victim`s kin, newswire PTI reported.
