Stipend Qualifies as Income: Delhi HC Upholds Cancellation of AIIMS Doctor’s EWS Appointment - Video
Overview
The Delhi High Court has upheld the cancellation of the appointment of a senior resident doctor in the Ophthalmology department at AIIMS, holding that the candidate was not eligible for appointment under the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) quota as his annual income exceeded the prescribed limit and thereby dismissed his petition.
Observing that the payment received by a doctor while serving as a Junior Resident amounts to “income” for the purpose of determining EWS eligibility, a Division Bench of Justice Anil Kshetrapal and Justice Amit Mahajan affirmed the Central Administrative Tribunal’s (CAT) order. The Tribunal had declared the doctor’s EWS certificate invalid for recruitment purposes and directed AIIMS to terminate his appointment.
