Karnataka High Court Rules Compulsory MBBS Bond Service Does Not Amount to Forced Labour
In the matter of MBBS bond service, the Karnataka High Court recently observed that the medicos cannot be permitted to challenge the obligation after completion of the entire course and after having availed the corresponding benefit of education at subsidised costs, which may not have been available to them, if they had not furnished the service bond.
It noted that MBBS students who agreed to compulsory service bonds at the time of admission cannot avoid their obligations after availing subsidised education and training, and such bonds cannot be treated as forced labour or exploitation. The Court also observed that there is no compulsion on a student to serve a bond, as they are free to pay the agreed fine under the bond.
