Overview

The Madras High Court has directed the Tamil Nadu government to include a doctor's name in the panel for the post of Dean in Government Medical Colleges (GMC) for the academic year 2024-25. The decision came after the court found that the petitioner met the necessary administrative experience criteria, contrary to the state's claims.

Justice N Anand Venkatesh slammed Tamil Nadu Health and Family Welfare department, the Director of Medical Education (DME) and the Dean, Madras Medical College & Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital, EVR Periyar Salai, Chennai, stating that while considering the administrative experience of the doctor, her name has been 'dropped like a hot potato'. Additionally, expressing that such a stand taken by the respondents is quite unfortunate and cannot at all be entertained.
