Interim stay on exam for sonologists

Madurai:13.07.2018

The Madurai bench of the Madras high court has issued an interim stay on the conduct of practical examinations and issuance of certificates by the directorate of medical education (DME) to MBBS graduates who had undergone six months training in ultrasonography to qualify as a sonologist. The examinations were to be held on July 19.

Justice M S Ramesh passed the interim stay based on a petition from Madurai based radiologist Dr T Rajakumari who sought to quash the notification by the department on June 12 this year to issue certificates to those who underwent six months training between the period when the course itself was invalid.

According to the petition, a Delhi high court order dated February 17, 2016, had struck down provisions in the pre-natal diagnostic techniques (regulation and prevention of misuse) rules, 1996, which makes the sixmonth training course invalid. TNN
