Chennai: Madras high court on Monday held that the rejection of 400-plus applications for the post of assistant surgeon for non-submission of medical practitioner registration certificates will be subject to the outcome of the plea challenging the decision. According to the petitioners, they were unable to submit the certificates due to the delay by the Tamil Nadu Medical Council in issuing them.
Admitting the plea, Justice C V Karthikeyan held that the decision of the Medical Recruitment Board (MRB) rejecting the applications would be subject to the outcome of the pleas. Representing the petitioners, advocate M Velmurugan submitted that the petitioners completed their medical course in 2023 from medical colleges affiliated to the Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University.
The MRB issued a recruitment notification dated March 15, 2024, for 2,500 assistant surgeons (general). The last date for filing the application was May 15, 2024. One of the requirements was completion of the continuous rotatory medical internship and registration as a medical practitioner with the Tamil Nadu Medical Council under the Act of 1914, the petitioners said.
On representation from students of the 2018 batch who feared they would not be eligible to participate in the recruitment process, the last date for application was extended to July 15, 2024, petititoners said.
The petitioners were fully qualified for the post, but because of the delay in processing their certificates, their applications were rejected, they added.
