Madras HC permits PG medicos to work as assistant surgeons Post-specialization
The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has allowed postgraduate (PG) medical students selected for government service as Assistant Surgeons to delay their joining until they complete their ongoing PG courses. The court directed the Tamil Nadu government to extend their joining time under Section 7(5) of the Tamil Nadu Government Servants (Conditions of Service) Act, 2016, citing "special circumstances" and the need for specialist doctors in the state's healthcare system.
Justice Battu Devanand noted that the government had the discretion to extend the joining period in special circumstances, as provided under the Tamil Nadu Government Servants Act.
