Both sides in the proposed Shroff Medical Centre of The B. D. Petit Parsee General Hospital (PGH) (emblem pictured) have been 
reportedly asked by the Charity Commissioner (CC) to file their written replies by February 20, 2019. Lawyer Khushru Zaiwala and his wife Meher have opposed the new cosmopolitan institution to be constructed on the grounds of the PGH and managed by the Gurgaon-based Medanta Group. The Zaiwalas filed an application before the CC opposing the PGH-Medanta-Shroff plan alleging "fraud,” and "male fide intent.”
PGH has denied the allegations as being "false... baseless and defamatory.” A munificent donation of USD 22.5 million (Rs 160 crore) by Hong Kong based philanthropists Pervin and Jal Shroff was to fund the proposed new hospital. The venture was to generate funds from the new venture to subsidize PGH’s substantial losses.
Businessman Aspi Deboo and activist Zoru Bhathena have also filed a Section 41E application against PGH, seeking protection of the trust property from the agreement with Medanta. That matter is separately listed for February 4, 2018. "However the joint CC was not inclined to club the matters at this stage,” stated Deboo in a WhatsApp text to Parsiana on January 25.
Tired of the delays, both the Shroffs and Medanta had given PGH till March 31 this year to sort out the community conflicts. After that they would not be bound to their commitments. With each passing day the likelihood of meeting that deadline becomes remoter.
