Service rendered by Super Speciality doctors during COVID pandemic can be considered as bond duty, says Madras HC

Providing relief to five doctors who had attended COVID-19 patients during their Super-Specialty Course study, the Madras High Court bench has held that the COVID-19 service should be counted as their Compulsory Bond Period which they had been required to undergo compulsory government service after completing their course.

Holding that the refusal by the Government authorities cannot withstand judicial scrutiny, the HC bench opined that "it would also be discretionary as against the petitioners herein when they are compared with other medical professionals, who had actually completed their Post Graduate study as the petitioners."
