The Madras High Court has directed the State government to consider a recommendation made to it by the Medical Council of India (MCI) for increasing the retirement age of government doctors from 58 to 65 years.
The First Division Bench of Chief Justice Indira Banerjee and Justice P.T. Asha passed the order on a public interest litigation petition filed by K. Purushotham, associate professor of Medicine at the city’s Madras Medical College.
In accordance with the MCI’s recommendation, many States, including Odisha, Haryana, Assam and Andhra Pradesh, had enhanced the retirement age of government doctors from 62 to 65, the judges said, and directed the Health Secretary to consider the plea with respect to doctors in Tamil Nadu.
