The Madras High Court has recently delivered its judgement over a prevailing matter of a doctor from Madurai Medical College seeking cancellation of his own transfer from the college. The said doctor has filed a petition in the court challenging his own transfer order by the college authorities.
The High Court has however ruled the decision against his favor, citing that this to be an administrative issue of the institute.
The judges have agreed in principal with the Additional Advocate General K. Chellapandian implying that the transfer is a part of the doctor's service agreement as a government servant. He (the appellant) holds a a transferable post and has no other option, but to accept the transfer orders, on administrative grounds.
A doctor who heads the forensic sciences department of the government medical college had challenged his transfer order on the grounds that he has to attend court proceedings in the district in connection with post mortems conducted by him in many cases.
