JAMMU, May 2: High Court today issued notice to Choudhary Lal Singh, Health and Medical Education Minister and Commissioner Secretary Health and stayed the transfer of Dr Gurmeet Kour, Registrar in the discipline of Psychiatry in the Government Medical College and Hospital to District Hospital Poonch.
Dr Gurmeet Kour, while challenging her transfer, submitted that order was passed illegally, capriciously, for collateral purposes and contravention to the ad-interim directions dated January 3, 2015.
Senior Advocate B S Slathia, along with Advocate Dinesh Singh Chauhan, in their arguments alleged that Choudhary Lal Singh, Minister for Health & Medical Education Department, during a function outraged the modesty of the petitioner in full public view consequentially leading to her defamation in the public.
They submitted that petitioner was transferred on extraneous consideration, for achieving an alien purpose or an oblique motive amounting to malafide, colourable exercise of power and in breach and contravention to the ad-interim directions dated January 3, 2015 passed in Writ Petition earlier filed by Dr Gurmeet Kour.
