The Supreme Court<\/a> on Monday has upheld the order of the Madhya Pradesh High Court<\/a>, which had dismissed the appeal filed by more than 80 MBBS doctors pursuing post graduate courses, aggrieved by the condition imposed by the State government for executing a bond to render compulsory service in rural areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The conditions stipulated that in default thereof, the bond of Rs 10 lakh for the post-graduate course and Rs 8 lakh for the diploma course would be forfeited. Today, the bench of Justice L. Nageswara Rao and Justice B.R. Gavai dismissed the petition as the same devoid of merits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The petitioners have submitted before the court that execution of the bond was not compulsory for 2013. The examination was held for admission and the admission form of the said year said no bond is required to be executed for the students belonging to All India Quota. Accordingly, no bond was actually executed. This was the 2013 PG batch. Subsequently, the Centre realised the problem and amended it in 2014 and applied it for both quota i.e. for All India as well as State Quota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the question raised by the Court about delay in filling the SLP, the petitioner submitted that the review petition was pending till 2020 and the same was disposed in August 2020 and we have filed the SLP in September 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In fact, these doctors, who are pursuing Post Graduate Courses were being aggrieved by the imposition of conditions by the State Government for executing a bond to render compulsory services in rural areas notified by the State approached the High Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
