Ranchi: The High Court of Jharkhand on Friday once again pulled up Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) for not filling up vacant posts in the fourth grade.
The court warned the director of the apex medical institution in Ranchi that if the vacancies are not filled up, it would tantamount to violation of court directives and result in the initiation of contempt proceedings.
A bench of Chief Justice Dr. Ravi Ranjan and Justice Sujit Narayan Prasad was hearing a public interest litigation on the lack of facilities in the institute.

The bench had earlier ordered the hospital and the state government to ensure that vacancies in the fourth grade are filled up.
Questioning the reason for not filling up the vacancies, the court in an oral observation said the absence of manpower affects the working of a hospital.
The case will again be heard on February 22.
Earlier the hospital had informed that it has made appointments through outsourcing due to a written direction received from the state government.
The court had then asked the director of RIMS why regular appointments were not being done when there were vacancies.
The PIL was initiated at the behest of the high court on the basis of news reports on the problems faced by the public due to the lack of infrastructure in RIMS.
Though in existence since 1959, the transformation of Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) in 2002 from a College cum Hospital to an Institute emphasized the grand vision of the state to upgrade science, scholarship, and innovation to improve health of the people of this region.
The medical institute is in Ranchi, the capital of Jharkhand, India. The college is an autonomous body established under an act of Jharkhand Assembly.
