High Court directs govt to return marks cards of doctors

Last Updated 21 January 2015, 19:01 IST

The High Court on Wednesday directed the Department of Health and Family Welfare to return the original marks cards of the doctors who had studied post-graduate courses under government quota.


Dr Anitha Lakshmi and eight other doctors had moved the court seeking directions to the department to return their marks card which was handed over to the department at the time of signing an undertaking during the PG admissions. The students had undertook to serve government for a period of three years.  
As these doctors did not keep their promise, the original marks cards were not returned to them.  Justice B V Nagarathna directed the department to hand over marks cards and to deal with the issue of undertaking in a civil court by issuing legal notices to the doctors for penalty.

MLA’s plea dismissed

The High Court has dismissed a petition filed by Shikaripur Legislator B Y Raghavendra seeking directions to the CBI court not to entertain a private complaint filed against him before it (CBI court).

Vinod, an advocate from Shivamogga, had filed a private complaint in the CBI court seeking inquiry into the disproportionate of assets of Raghavendra when he was an MP from 2009 to 2014. Justice N Ananda dismissed the petition stating that a private complaint can be entertained in the CBI court.

  Jaya case

Former Additional Solicitor General L Nageshwara Rao, appearing for former Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalitha in the disproportionate assets case in the High Court, claimed on Wednesday that the silver items belonging to Jayalalitha had been valued incorrectly.

Making his submission before the court, he said  gifting silver items to popular leaders was a practice in Tamil Nadu. However, Murugesh Maradi, appearing for the prosecution said that since Jayalalitha got the gifts when she was the chief minister, the silver items had to be either in the museum or in government treasury.
