Tamil Nadu HC restores Medical Council President post to Dr Senthil
Advertisement
Chennai: Madras High Court quashed a resolution of Tamil Nadu Medical Council and restored the position of president to a doctor who had held that post before submitting his resignation to the body, which had accepted it, though he had soon taken it back.
Owing to certain misunderstanding among members, TNMC President Senthil handed over an undated letter to an executive committee member, M S Asharaf.
On August 13, 2016, Senthil wrote to council authorities, including its registrar and vice-president, apprising them that he had withdrawn his resignation.
Though it was acknowledged by them on August 16, the council later said the resignation was accepted through a resolution at a council meeting on August 17.
Senthil then filed a writ petition in the High Court against the council's move.
He submitted that since he had revoked his resignation before the alleged meeting, there was no offer of resignation for the council to accept.
