The judges' bench of the High Court has also upheld the decision of the High Court's Registrar to reject the appeal of the Criminal Court's release of Haleemath Lamha, a former Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH) nurse accused of murdering Filipino nurse Mary Grace Oned Pineda, who also worked at the same hospital.
Prosecutors charged Marvin S. Y. Vargas, also a nurse at IGMH and the husband of Mary Grace, along with Lamha. Authorities believe that Lamha and Marvin were having an affair, and colluded in murdering Mary in October, 2021.
