Put up details of nursing colleges on website: HC
Bengaluru:14.09.2021
To clear the position vis-a-vis nursing institutions, the Indian Nursing Council (INC) has to WebHost the full order of the Supreme Court in Civil Appeals No.12759-12761/2017 and the link to the website hosted by the state government, containing the list of recognized institutions.
The high court passed this order recently while disposing of a petition filed by Karnataka State Association of the Management of Nursing and Allied Health Science Institutions and four nursing colleges.
Justice PS Dinesh Kumar said in the Civil Appeals the SC held INC has no authority to grant recognition to institutions imparting nursing courses and it has been restrained from publishing the material indicated therein on its website. The judge, however, added that in view of the admitted position that inspection can be conducted by INC, its right, to be placed in public domain, the institutions inspected by it, can’t be curtailed.
“It would be appropriate for the INC to web-host the clear position emerging from the order passed by the Supreme Court. This can be achieved by directing the INC to first show the entire list of institutions recognised by the government on its website,” the judge added. The petitioners had moved court seeking removal of a list from INC website depicting as ‘recognised Institutions by the Karnataka State Nursing Council’ for 2019-20 and 2020-21. TNN
