Goa: Taking note of the long-standing vacant post of the director for the Institute of Psychiatry and Human Behaviour (IPHB), the High Court of Bombay at Goa has directed the government to immediately fill the post on a regular basis as 'expeditiously as possible'.
A division bench of the High court comprising justice Mahesh Sonak and Bharti H Dangre was considering a public interest petition filed by Dr. Ashutosh Prabhu Desai who appealed seeking direction to fill up the vacant seat of the director of the institution.
Times of India reports that the petitioner pointed out that the institution has been completely functional for decades, however; it has been running without any Director and this indicates that the government is not giving due priority to the mental institution in the state. The Dean of Goa Medical College has been additionally serving as the director of IPHB for a long time now.
