VIJAYAWADA: The AP High Court upheld Government Order 85 issued by the State government in July 2024 amending the In-service Quota Rules for Civil Assistant Surgeons working with the Medical and Health Department to pursue post graduation. The court in a recent verdict refused to intervene over the rule that to get the In-service Quota, one should clear NEET PG and be aged less than 50 at the time of notification for the super speciality courses.
It also upheld the rule of 10 years of mandatory government service after PG and a penalty of Rs 25 lakh to Rs 50 lakh for violation of the In-Service Quota agreement. The court refused to announce the GO as unilateral. Dr Chittibabu working at Medarametla PHC as an assistant civil surgeon, challenged the GO in the HC.
