High Court Summons Medical Edu Principal Secy

The High Court has asked the principal secretary of the medical education department to appear before the court.

While hearing a contempt petition by a Bengaluru advocate over the delay in the operationalising of the premises of the Institute of Gastroenterology and Organ Transplant in Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute, the High Court has asked the principal secretary of the medical education department to appear before the court.

The court has found the delay in the operationalising of the premises deliberate. Although the institute was made functional on July 5, 2021, it is not operational as the sanitisation work is pending. The sanitisation process requires a minimum of two months.
