The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Thursday dismissed a plea of a doctor who sought a direction for the return of his documents entrusted to an eye hospital, with which he had executed a bond agreeing to serve it for two years.
The petitioner J. Praveen who completed his MBBS degree in 2011 applied for his postgraduation in MS (Ophthalmology). As per an allotment by the Director of Medical Education, he secured a seat at the Arvind Eye Hospital, Madurai.
The petitioner submitted eight original certificates at the time of admission and executed the bond that he would serve the institution for two years after the completion of the three-year postgraduation. He also agreed to pay Rs. 20 lakh in case of default of the agreement.
However, after completion of the course, the petitioner aspired to work in the government sector and requested the eye hospital to return the original certificates. The request was denied citing the agreement.
Taking up the plea for hearing, Justice V. Parthiban observed the petitioner wanted to have the cake and eat it too, wanting the best of both worlds.
It said the petitioner was bound to serve the hospital for two years or make good the quantified damage as per the agreement.
