Why non-medico teacher was not appointed as Internal Examiner? CAT issues Show-cause notice to GMCH-32 Director Principal
Chandigarh: While considering a contempt plea by a doctor of GMCH 32, who was denied her right to be appointed as an Internal Examiner, the Central Administrative Tribunal has issued a show-cause notice to the Director Principal Dr. Jasbinder Kaur.
Even though last year, GMCH-32 was instructed by the Tribunal to forward the name of the petitioner doctor Dr Sushumna, Professor, Department of Biochemistry, as an Internal Examiner, that order is yet to be complied with.
Therefore, the doctor moved the Tribunal again with a contempt petition filed under section 17 of the Administrative Tribunal Act 1985 read with Central Administrative Tribunal (contempt of Court) Rules 1992, adds The Tribune.
Issuing show-cause notice against the Director-Principal, the Tribunal bench comprising of Rakesh Kumar Gupta and Suresh Kumar Monga listed the matter for further hearing on April 19.
As per the latest media report by The Tribune India, even though the petitioner is the senior-most in the department with her name at serial number 2, now the Director-Principal has allegedly adopted a new proforma and discriminated against the petitioner doctor by making categories such as medical and nonmedical examiner. So, now the name of the petitioner was in the last of the list even though there couldn't be any distinction.
Appearing on the behalf of the doctor, her counsel submitted before the tribunal that even though GMCH-32 moved the High Court against the CAT order, the HC bench denied any stay on the order.
It has been demanded by the doctor to implement the CAT order of April 2021 and include the doctor's name as per her seniority in the list sent to the University for appointing Internal Examiner.
After considering the contempt plea, the Tribunal bench comprising of Rakesh Kumar Gupta and Suresh Kumar Monga issued a show-cause notice to the Director Principal of the GMCH-32 asking why contempt proceedings shouldn't be initiated against her.
