CHENNAI: The Madras High Court has snubbed a Salem-based doctor-cum-advocate, who wanted to poke her nose into the issue relating to the health of Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, by asking her to mind her own business.
G Pravina, an MBBS doctor, who also later became an advocate, appearing party in person, prayed the court to constitute an expert emergency life-saving committee, headed by the State Chief Secretary and consisting of specialist doctors drawn from government hospitals, one member from the judiciary and two close associates of the Chief Minister with the mandate of assessing and monitoring the line of treatment given by the doctors of Apollo Hospitals and to decide whether the CM requires immediate better medical treatment abroad.
The bench said the petitioner, who happens to be an MBBS graduate, seeks to intervene and determine how Jayalalithaa should be treated. “We completely fail to understand the intervention sought to be made by the petitioner in the matter of this nature and it is for the people concerned to determine the nature of treatment. It is one more publicity interest litigation,” the bench said and dismissed it.
