Court pulls up RIMS Ranchi over vacant posts
Ranchi: The High Court of Jharkhand on Friday once again pulled up Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) for not filling up vacant posts in the fourth grade.
The court warned the director of the apex medical institution in Ranchi that if the vacancies are not filled up, it would tantamount to violation of court directives and result in the initiation of contempt proceedings.
A bench of Chief Justice Dr. Ravi Ranjan and Justice Sujit Narayan Prasad was hearing a public interest litigation on the lack of facilities in the institute.

The bench had earlier ordered the hospital and the state government to ensure that vacancies in the fourth grade are filled up.
Questioning the reason for not filling up the vacancies, the court in an oral observation said the absence of manpower affects the working of a hospital.
The case will again be heard on February 22.
