New Delhi: In a recent court case, the Delhi High Court was seen reprimanding the apex medical institution of the country and imposing a fine of Rs 50,000 on it on account of filing a frivolous complaint.
The court observed
The case was that of a nurse, who was seeking Voluntary retirement from the institution seeking her inability to work due to her taking care of her ailing aunt staying in United Kingdom. Denied the same by the institution, she resigned and sought release of her pension, gratuity and other retrial benefits but was denied the same on the grounds that she had not completed her mandatory 20 years of service with the government . Since the same were not released, she made a detailed representation to CAT.
The court observed
“At the outset, we would like to record our anguish on account of this frivolous petition being filed by the petitioner/ AIIMS. As would appear from the following observations, this petition has been filed despite the fact that the legal position stands well-settled and there was absolutely no doubt about the merit of the respondent’s case.”
