Meenakshi Gautham v. P.K. Pradhan and Ors. - (High Court of Delhi) (02 Sep 2015)

MCI in contempt of court for giving liberty to third party to challenge formal decision of court detracting from undertaking

MANU/DE/2526/2015

Contempt of Court

The Court, in a contempt petition against the Medical Council of India and the central government, found the parties guilty, but gave another opportunity to comply with its previous order. In a petition in 2010, the MCI had given an undertaking to define and notify a new curriculum for B.Sc graduates, allowing them to practice modern medicine, but a government-appointed task force had failed to complete the undertaken tasks within the time frame. The Court noted that by giving power to a third party, like the task force, the final decision of the court could not be challenged and undertaking given could not be detracted from. The Court granted an extension of six months to the government and MCI to give B.Sc (Community Health) graduates a right practice modern medicine.
