Karnataka High Court Rules Against Lifetime Service Bond Without Posting for Doctor
The Karnataka High Court ruled that a government doctor who completed a super-speciality course under the in-service quota cannot be bound to serve the government for life without receiving a posting. Dr. Adnan Saeed, after completing his MCh in Surgical Oncology, sought a posting but was not assigned one for over three years, leading to his resignation. The court upheld a previous order quashing disciplinary action against him and directed authorities to accept his resignation and pay his salary for the period without posting.
