Madras HC raps Govt for withholding certificates of doctors, orders to ensure immediate bond service postings

Expressing concern over delayed bond service postings, the Madras High Court has recently slammed the Government for forcing super speciality and post graduate doctors to be idle by withholding their educational certificates.

The HC bench comprising Justice R. Subramanian also took note of the fact that the State Health Department of Tamil Nadu is neither offering government jobs to doctors who need to fulfill two-year bond service conditions after passing out of the government medical colleges, nor releasing their educational certificates.
