AIIMS asks its Prof to withdraw his plea from CAT
New Delhi : Professor Anoop Saraya, who was recently appointed as AIIMS Head of Gastroenterology and Human Nutrition department, has been asked by the administration to withdraw his application from Centra Administrative Tribunal.
Saraya, in his reply, reiterated his demand that the AIIMS administration should issue an "unconditional" appointment letter as it had issued to the HOD's of other departments and added, that he was not interested in pursuing any litigative exercise against the institute.
In his petition in CAT, he had challenged the appointment of Dr Umesh Kapil, a professor of human nutrition, as the Head of the Department (HoD) by the then Director M C Mishra after former HoD Dr S K Acharya retired on October 31, 2016.
"Dr Saraya is further informed that his appointment as HoD of Gastroenterology, dated February 11, was conditional to withdrawal of the original application (OA) filed by him in the Principal Bench of Central Administrative Tribunal, New Delhi against the institute.
