To Honorable Members of the lawyersclubindia.
Respected Sir/Madam,
I am a doctor working in haryana govt. we all doctors working here have different duty schedule.As authorities gives us the duty in emergency in a hospital from 4 pm in evening to 9 am next day in the morning(17 hours hectic emergency duty). but authority say you have to come to hospital today morning also and then next day you can take a off. and after doing 24 hours emergency duty (you dont get sleep at all) you will get one day off. They say you can do 24 hour duty 3 days per week and get 3 alternate day off.
i hope i am clear in my problem in explaining. Basically i want to ask after how many hour duty a doctor should be given rest. If a doctor is on permanent post in HCMS(haryana civil medical services). I hope i will get help from here.
Do doctors comes in any law regarding duties and which super cede the HCMS rule. Plz help me if any rule is there regarding this plz quote.
Thanking you.
Dr Ravish....

Such matters are best resolved thru associations.
You may get in touch with the association and try to resolve thru association.
The HCMS Doctors in Haryana have their association.
The HCMS Doctors association has posted on its website that:
“3. Till now, there were two separate sets of service rules- HCMS (Group A) Service Rules 1981 for SMOs and above, and HCMS (Class II) Service Rules 1978 for MOs. Now both these rules stand repealed. Now all the Doctors in service, from the junior most MO to DGHS, will be governed by a single set of service rules – HCMS (Group A) Service Rules 2014.”

The erstwhile rules are available at:

Sec:13: …………………………………..( If any clear rule on any matter is not available then it shall be as per instructions by the competent authority)
