The Bombay High Court has upheld a new rule which makes it mandatory for MBBS graduates to execute indemnity bond of Rs 5 lakh to ensure that they serve in a public hospital for one year after graduation.
A division bench consisting of Chief Justice Mr Mohit Shah and Mr Justice D.G. Karnik, dismissed five petitions challenging the rule, filed by more than 150 students who had taken admission in 2004-05 and 2005-06.
Apart from seeking a bond, the new rule also demands an undertaking from MBBS graduates that they will not leave India for five years after acquiring the degree. The students had claimed that the new rule did not apply to them, as it came into existence in 2007.
