‘All students entitled to pay, allowances’
10/08/2019, LEGAL CORRESPONDENT, CHENNAI
Observing that acquisition of knowledge and not its means was important, the Madras High Court on Friday held that government doctors must be paid salary and other service benefits even if they had acquired higher qualification from deemed universities without participating in single window counselling.
Justice V. Parthiban said the government could not insist that the in-service doctors must get admitted to post graduate courses only in government institutions or in seats surrendered to the government by self-financing colleges, especially when it was common knowledge that very few seats were available in the State for PG medical courses.
The government could not refuse to grant pay and allowances, for the period of study, to candidates who had pursued PG course from private institutions by paying money from their own pockets. It had to take the totality of circumstances in consideration on a case-to-case basis and pay full allowances to deserving candidates, he said.
