Australian prosecutors on Friday dropped criminal negligence charges against an Indian-born surgeon who had been accused of the manslaughter of several patients, bringing an end to a long-running legal saga.

An Australian jury was discharged on Tuesday after they were unable to reach a verdict in the long-running case of an Indian-born surgeon accused of harming a patient, reports said.

Prosecutors have filed for a fresh trial of a former Indian-origin surgeon in an Australian court for allegedly causing grievous bodily harm to a patient.

Indian-origin surgeon Jayant Patel will stand trial in an Australian court in September this year for causing grievous harm to a patient, a media report has said.

Australian prosecutors on Friday said they will pursue remaining charges against an Indian-born surgeon, including two counts of manslaughter, after he was cleared over the death of another patient.
