Allahabad High Court Upholds Mandatory Service Bond for PG Doctors Despite Posting Delays
The Allahabad High Court ruled that doctors who complete postgraduate medical education at government institutions with subsidised fees must fulfill the mandatory two-year government service bond. The court rejected a petition by Dr Aparupa Sen Gupta, who argued that a delay in government posting should release her from the bond. While the court upheld the bond obligation despite administrative delays, it found fault with the denial of her opportunity to participate in counselling and ordered fresh counselling to be conducted.
