The Supreme Court of India has ordered the Jharkhand government and Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi, to pay the pending stipend to Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs) who had completed their internship earlier but were not given the same benefit as their juniors.
Noting that foreign medical graduates are liable to get a stipend at par with Indian medical graduates, the division bench of Justice Aravind Kumar and Justice Prasanna B. Varale ordered the stipend to be paid within 2 weeks.
