Shackles of Bond Service: High Court Comes to Doctor's Rescue

Advertisement
Kolkata: The Calcutta High Court asked the West Bengal Health department to return original certificates of a medical post graduate student, who has already paid Rs 20 lakh as indemnity bond, by tomorrow.
A division bench comprising justices Dipankar Dutta and Shampa Sarkar said it was reiterating a Supreme Court order that said contractual employees cannot be treated as government employees.
The bench said if anybody has been appointed on contract, he does not become a government employee.
The court held that since Rs 20 lakh has been paid to the government as per the bond requirement, the IPGMER Dean, Dr A K Das would hand over the original certificates held by the government, to Dr Rahul Bansal by tomorrow.
Bansal, a resident of Moradabad in Uttar Pradesh, did his MBBS from Meerut and later qualified for a Diploma in Psychiatry from the Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education and Research (IPGMER) at the state-run SSKM Hospital here.
