PwD doctor denied SRship gets HC relief; NMC, State ordered to pay Rs 1 Lakh compensation
Advertisement
The Rajasthan High Court recently granted relief to a doctor with a benchmark disability, whose application for the post of Senior Residentship was rejected by the State Government authorities as the doctor had crossed the age of 45 at the time of application. Although the doctor argued that being a PwD candidate, he was allowed to get a 5-year age relaxation, the authorities including the National Medical Commission (NMC) opposed his plea.
While considering his petition, the HC bench of Justice Sameer Jain allowed him the age relaxation and directed the NMC and the State to pay Rs 1 lakh cost, to be divided equally, for the delay and hardship caused to the petitioner.
