Hold fresh elections for new medical council: SC directs state
Refusing to stay the order of the Telangana High Court, the Supreme Court on Tuesday directed the Telangana Government to conduct the elections of the council within 3 months for 13 members.
In its order, the Telangana HC bench had asked the State Government for conducting the polls for the medical council without increasing the number of the state-sponsored nominees.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that the plea before High Court had been filed by Healthcare Reforms Doctors Association (HRDA). The association had raised the issue of not conducting Telangana State Medical Council (TSMC) elections since 2007. Apart from this, the association had also pointed out the illegal continuation of nominated members for more than a decade as interim ad-hoc body and reduction of elected members from 13 to 5.
