The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has welcomed the Delhi High Court decision on Thursday which stayed the notification of the Delhi Medical Council (DMC) where the Government had notified 22 instead of 23 members and also changed the names of four nominated persons, who were earlier nominated by the Delhi Lt. Governor.
Hailing the HC’s decision as a positive one, IMA national president Dr. A. Marthanda Pillai said that medical profession should be beyond politics and the Government should nominate members only on merit and once nominated, should not change them unless they are removed on disciplinary ground and that to abiding the constitution.
The Association felt that the earlier nominated members were people of eminence and should not have been removed without a valid reason.
