K’taka HC tells Govt not to precipitate MBBS rural service issue

Bengaluru: In a big relief to 184 doctors, the Karnataka High Court directed the state government to restrain it from compelling these doctors from registering online for the Compulsory Rural Service under provisions of the Karnataka Compulsory Training Service By Candidates Completed Medical Courses Act, 2012.
Justice Sachin Shankar Magadum passed the interim order after hearing the petition filed by Dr N Prarthana and 183 others.
However, this interim order is confined to 184 MBBS candidates who have approached the court and the government is at liberty to proceed with implementation of notifications issued over online registration with regard to other candidates, except petitioners, the court added.
The petitioners have challenged the notification issued by the state government on June 8 and a corrigendum dated June 17, asking the undergraduates who have completed their MBBS on government seats during the year 2021 to register online for rural posting.
The petitioners have further contended that the notifications issued by the State Government is discriminatory in nature, as it excludes other undergraduates of the same batch and previous batches.
The notification is contrary to Karnataka Compulsory Service by Candidates Completed Medical Courses Act, the petitioners further alleged.
