[Covid-19] Doctors Should Regard The Call For Service To Be Rendered As A Call For Joining 'National Duty': Bombay HC [Read Order]
Live LawRefusing interim relief in a plea against alleged arbitrary placement of doctors at various Government hospitals for one-year mandatory public service, the Bombay High Court remarked, "In these difficult times of the pandemic, people in the rural areas need adequate medical treatment and we are of the prima facie opinion that doctors like the petitioners and the others should regard the call for service to be rendered as a call for joining 'national duty', so as to reach out to the distressed and the needy." In these circumstances the Court observed that an interim relief, substantially in the nature of a final relief, may be granted only if very strong prima facie case is made out in the Petitioners' favour. In such cases the availability of a very strong prima facie case — of a standard much higher than just prima facie case, the considerations of balance of convenience and irreparable injury forcefully tilting the balance of the case totally in favour of the applicant may persuade the court to grant an interim relief though it amounts to granting the final relief itself." In fact, the Court observed, "grant of interim relief, as claimed, would cause more prejudice to the respondents than refusal to grant interim relief would cause to the petitioners."
