The Madhya Pradesh High Court has given the last chance to the All Indian Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhopal, to file its reply on a plea seeking the removal of 14 "ineligible"
A division bench of Chief Justice SK Kait and Justice Vivek Jain gave four weeks to AIIMS Bhopal when it sought time to submit its response in connection with a public interest litigation (PIL).
"Last opportunity is granted to the respondents who have not filed the reply to the present petition to do so within four weeks, failing which the same shall be accepted with a cost of Rs 10,000 each," the bench said on March 25.
Petitioner Prakash Chouksey told PTI on Friday that he has sought the removal of 14 professors on the basis of the findings of a three-member internal committee of AIIMS that had held that they were ineligible for the posts.
