Delhi HC issues notice on PIL challenging embryologist's appointment on National ART and Surrogacy Board
Delhi High Court
Delhi: A member of the National Assisted Reproductive Technology and Surrogacy Board's expert panel has found himself in a legal battle after a PIL was filed challenging the doctor’s appointment as an embryologist.
Following the PIL, the Delhi High Court sought a response from the Centre and the said doctor on Wednesday. The petitioner submitted that there is no concrete evidence to prove his eligibility as an embryologist or to confirm if he has a degree in embryology from a recognized university.
As per a recent media report by The Indian Express, the petitioner sought that a writ of 'quo warranto' (by what warrant or authority) be issued against the doctor's designation as an expert member of the panel. The plea also includes a request to instruct the doctor to furnish the copies of his appointment letter and degree in embryology. The petitioner's attorney claimed that there was no proof that the doctor had an embryology degree from a recognized university.
