Telangana High Court on Wednesday allowed the writ petition filed by four government doctors working under different departments seeking PG Medical seats under in-service quota, with the State government clarifying its stand that government doctors who served for two years in tribal areas and three years in rural areas are eligible for such quota.
A bench of Justices K. Lakshman and Chillakur Sumalatha directed the authorities of the Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences to allot seats in PG medical courses as per the service certification of the government doctors and the ranks they secured in NEET PG 2022. Advocate General B.S. Prasad, who was asked by the bench during the previous hearing to assist it in adjudicating the matter, explained to the bench the government’s stand on the matter.
The AG made it clear that the GO Ms. No. 186 issued in 2021 about the eligibility of in-service candidates for getting admission in PG medical courses was amply clear. Mr. Prasad explained to the bench that government doctors working under the State’s instrumentalities like Telangana Vaidya Vidhana Parishad and Insurance Medical Services Department are eligible for PG medical seats under in-service quota.
