Karnataka HC: Unacceptable that doc must remain indebted to govt forever
BENGALURU: A super-speciality qualified doctor cannot be expected to remain idle and not work when no posting orders are given to him despite him reporting to the government, said the Karnataka High Court.
It observed that the condition that a post-graduate doctor who has availed of in-service quota for admission to a super-specialty course must remain indebted to the government for the rest of his official life, even in the absence of any posting orders, is not acceptable.
A division bench of Justices Anu Sivaraman and Venkatesh Naik T made the remarks while partially upholding the order dated April 5, 2023, passed by a single judge who had quashed the show-cause notices issued to Dr Adnan Saeed in 2022 by the Bengaluru Medical College and Research Institute (BMCRI).
