Take action against doctors persisting with strike: HC

6 May 2009
Bangalore : A division Bench of the high court on Tuesday asked the government to take action against junior doctors persisting with the strike. The Bench also asked the Junior Doctors' Association to file an affidavit by Thursday, listing out deficiencies in state-run medical colleges and hospitals.
"This court has not prevented doctors from resuming duty or the authorities from taking action to bring them back on duty. The court wanted authorities to take action... Those who cannot perform cannot sleep either. The recent election trend is an indicator to this. The strike is unpardonable," the Bench said.
Additional advocate general Ashok Haranahalli told the court that show-cause notices have been issued to those who went on strike and further action will be taken after getting their reply. "The state is spending Rs 20 lakh on undergraduates and Rs 50 lakh on PG students, apart from providing accommodation," a statement on behalf of the government said.
