Madras HC denies relief to doctors seeking extension to join Govt service - Video

Observing that no extension could be granted, especially for joining the Rural Health Service, the Madras High Court recently dismissed the pleas filed by doctors who sought an extension of the deadline to report and join duty at the Government Primary Health Centre.

"There cannot be any extension of service, particularly, when the petitioners had been called to join in Rural Health Service. The petitioners cannot, as a matter of right, seek extension and claim that only after completing their Post Graduation Course, which course they were already doing even at the time of applying for the post, they would join and render service," observed the HC bench comprising C.V. Karthikeyan.
