Doctors working in medical education department can avail inservice reservation benefits: MP HC
Madhya Pradesh High Court
Jabalpur: Providing relief to the In-service doctors in the State, the Madhya Pradesh High Court recently clarified that doctors who are serving the Medical Education Department for three years shall be allowed to avail the benefits of In-service reservation while appearing in the NEET-PG medical entrance examination.
Such a ruling came from the High Court bench as it was considering a plea filed by six doctors belonging to the Medical Education Department.
Filing the petition, these doctors had contended that even though the in-service reservation benefits are available to the doctors posted with the health department, those who work for the medical education department cannot avail it.
The doctors in their plea described such a policy as discriminatory and also claimed that different treatments for the health and medical education department doctors contradicts the fundamental right of equality ensured under the Indian Constitution. Therefore, approaching the HC bench they sought relief.
