For doctors, the government’s code should be “no work should go unpaid”
The Supreme Court on Tuesday held that the government cannot plead financial stress to avoid paying doctors their salaries or arrears. The State’s credo towards its doctors should be “no work should go unpaid” and not “no work, no pay”, a Bench of Justices L. Nageswara Rao and Hrishikesh Roy said in a judgment. The case concerned North Delhi Municipal Corporation’s reluctance to pay salary arrears to AYUSH doctors after their superannuation age was enhanced from 60 to 65 years.More Related News
