PATNA: The Patna high court on Thursday granted four weeks to the state government for filing report on action taken by a four-member committee for formulating the rules and regulations for establishing a para-medical council at state level. The court also observed that enough time had already been granted to the state for formation of the council.
The direction was given to the state after it submitted a supplementary counter-affidavit apprising the court about a four-member committee which was formed by the health department on October 3 for preparing draft notification for constituting the para-medical council.
The state government also submitted that the committee was working actively to finalise the necessary draft for constitution and functioning of the council and four weeks be granted to file a reply.
The order for submitting a report on action taken by the committee was given by a division bench of Chief Justice Amreshwar Pratap Sahi and Justice Ashutosh Kumar while hearing a batch of four PILs including one filed by Indian Association of Pathologists and Microbiologists, where court was urged to direct the concerned officers for taking action against all those pathological laboratories which were running against the rules and regulations under Clinical Establishment (central government) Rules, 2012, which was amended last year.
It was during hearing on this issue that court had asked the state government over the situation for forming a council which would act as a regulating body for para-medical staffs as well as technicians working in such laboratories.
The four-membered-committee was formed by the health department only after the same division had asked the state government that what actions were taken for formation of the state para-medical council on September 19. The court had granted six-week time to the government for filing a reply on the matter.
Along with submitting action taken report, the court on Thursday also directed state government to file reply within four weeks on an interlocutory application (IA) filed by a private pathological laboratory at Gaya that how it was declared as one running illegally.
The petitioner had pleaded that the report submitted by the state government over legal and illegal laboratories was not in accordance with the Centre’s guidelines and they were not provided opportunity to produce any document proving that laboratory was running in accordance with the law
