Disband the Oversight Committee on MCI : Government Tells Supreme Court
Advertisement
In 2016, the Supreme Court had constituted a three member oversight committee with Justice RM Lodha (Former Chief Justice of India), Shri Vinod Rai ( Former CAG of India ) as well as Prof Dr S.K Sareen ( Director, ILBS) to oversee all the activities of MCI for the next year.
New Delhi: The Central Government has sought the disbanding of the Supreme Court appointed Oversight Committee that was appointed by the apex court to oversee all the decisions of MCI in 2016, faulting it on the grounds that the panel gave recognition to 23 private medical colleges, even though they did not have the requisite infrastructure. The centre also pointed out that with the National Medical Commission Bill soon being in offing to replace the MCI and regulate the medical sector, there was no need for the three member committee to continue.
