Transfer of 3 RG Kar Doctors: Calcutta HC seeks Govt's response
How are Posting Orders Decided for Junior Doctors? Calcutta HC asks State
While considering a plea filed by three junior doctors challenging their posting orders, a single-judge bench of the Calcutta High Court recently directed the State Government to inform the Court about the criteria used for posting junior doctors in the hospitals.
The plea before the High Court has been filed by three junior doctors- Debashis Halder, Asfakulla Naiya, and Aniket Mahata. All of them were among prominent faces during the junior doctors' protest following the brutal rape and murder of a PG resident doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
Filing the plea, these doctors challenged their postings, alleging vindictiveness. These doctors, now senior doctors, received postings at hospitals, which were not selected by them during the counselling process in March.
The counselling process allows junior doctors to choose hospitals based on their rank on the merit list. However, after the State Health Department issued the final posting order in May, these doctors were shocked to find that they were assigned to hospitals that they did not choose during the counselling process.
