  Guest article by   RSN Singh  - a former military intelligence officer who later served in the Research and Analysis Wing, or RAW. He is the author of two books: Asian Strategic and Military Perspective and Military Factor in Pakistan . Is a scam being perpetrated by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW) this weekend on  future specialist doctors of this country?  Can the government order a conducting authority to alter the results of an examination after it has been announced? The government has exactly done that.  Can candidates be given less than 48 hours between the beginning and end of the weekend for counseling? This is exactly what is happening in Delhi to obviate legal intervention. Any academic examination or even a sporting event is conducted within the framework of rules and parameters. If these are changed after the results have been declared then extraneous considerations and corrupt practices is obvio...

Swasthya Bhavan has allowed TR (Trainee Reserve) in-service candidates to avail another TR (Back-to-back TR) which was summarily rejected by Calcutta High Court as well as Supreme Court last year. Ignoring the previous year's verdict Swasthya Bhavan has allowed all 40-50 candidates for counseling even before official declaration of their result. To protest against this irregularity, new court case will be filed on Monday.  Stay order on counseling is expected. For details, contact Dr Prosenjit Roy (8981462558) or Dr. Avnish (9732617337).

WB govt. has notified 1-yr rural service bond for PG courses, failing which the candidate has to pay 10 lakhs.

Punctuality, an important defining character of Judges, is the latest  casualty   in the Supreme Court, the role model for high courts and the subordinate courts. Old timers recount there was a time when litigants used to set their watches to 10.30 am when Judges of the  Supreme Court  assembled to begin proceedings. But, no longer, they lament. Lawyers and litigants grumble under their breath when Judges sit late. But, they dare not comment openly as they do not want to risk the wrath of the Judges and affect the fate of their cases and clients. Chief Justice of India  (CJI)  Altamas Kabir , who sits in court no. 1, is usually late to the court every day and the bench headed by him seldom commences judicial work at scheduled 10.30 am. But, Justice Gyan Sudha Misra appears to be setting a record of her own in coming late to the court. During normal working days, she too comes late to the court. But, during the ongoing summer vacation, p...

The AP High Court on Friday sought the stand of the Medical Council of India (MCI) on the petition which opposed compulsory government/rural/tribal services for the postgraduate medical students. Justice Noushad Ali was dealing with a petition filed by two students -- K Manasa and K Siva Satya Prasun -- seeking a stay on the government fiat that makes it mandatory for PG medical students to render government/rural services under the TRRIP (Tribal Rural Rejuvenation Implementation Project) for the year 2013. The petitioners' counsel said that the action of the state government in imposing condition of rural service on the students who completed their courses under the self-financing scheme without any support was illegal and arbitrary. Such a condition could be made applicable in respect of government sponsored/funded students, he contended. As per a government notification, all the postgraduate doctors (non-service) who completed their degree/deploma courses o...
