PNDT Update: MBBS doctors to continue to practise ultrasound in Delhi

The judgement indeed saw a great divide being created in the medical fraternity with most MBBS rejoicing with the decision while many radiologists opposing it. IRIA reportedly challenged the decision in the Apex Court .

However, despite the landmark judgement, many complained that there was no implementation of the same. Many MBBS doctors came out complaining that the health departments were ignoring their demands of registration citing no concrete reason.

In the meantime, an appeal was filed with the Supreme Court, challenging the decision of the Delhi High Court. This was done both by IRIA as well as Supreme Court of India. It is reported that during the hearing on 25/07/2016, the hon'ble court clubbed the two petitions . Further, it is further added that while  the court issued notices to other parties, it did not call for a stay at the high court judgement, implying that MBBS can still continue to practise ultrasound in the capital for the time being.

A preliminary hearing with the registrar office is now scheduled for 6th September, 2016
