New
Delhi,
Sep
5:
The
Delhi
High
Court
today
issued
notices
to
Union
Health
Minister
Anbumani
Ramadoss
and
Director
of
All
India
Institute
of
Medical
Sciences
(AIIMS)
Dr
P
Venugopal
for
not
following
the
Court's
direction
in
framing
the
guidelines
for
the
appointment
of
a
registrar
at
AIIMS.
Justice Geeta Mittal issued a show cause notice to both the authorities to reply by October 31 as to why contempt of court proceedings should not be initiated against them.
Dr Manoj Kumar of AIIMS had earlier filed a petition in the High Court that there is no regular post of a Registrar and the present Registrar was appointed on an ad hoc basis.
Justice Hima Kohli in March this year had directed the authorities to frame guidelines within six weeks for appointment of the Registrar. It has been more than five months now and nothing has been done in this regard.
