High Court Upholds NMC Aadhaar-based Facial, GPS Attendance for Medical College Faculty - Video
Overview
Patna: The Patna High Court has recently upheld the requirement of Aadhaar-based facial authentication and GPS location sharing for marking attendance of faculty members in medical colleges in Bihar, while observing that if the National Medical Commission (NMC) introduces an attendance system of faculty members, such system should not be scrapped on the grounds of 'arbitrariness' and being 'unconstitutional'.
While dismissing the plea, and upholding the decision taken by NMC for Aadhar linked biometric attendance by faculty members in medical colleges and hospitals, the HC bench comprising Justice Bibek Chaudhuri also directed NMC to take appropriate action directing the State Government(s) to initiate appointment / recruitment drive to fill up huge number of vacant posts in medical teaching service within a time bond period.
