Internal politics has ruined PGI, says HC

Chandigarh: Judge dismisses petition challenging the extension granted to PGI Director Dr K K Talwar last year â€œPGI has been ruined because of the internal politics of a few doctors. These Class III and IV employees have created havoc in the PGI. These people have no respect for a good and renowned doctor, nor do they respect those who serve the society.â€ That was Justice Surya Kant, who made the observation before dismissing a petition that had challenged the extension granted to PGI Director Dr K K Talwar last year. Justice Surya Kant said he knew well the intentions of the people behind moving the court against Dr Talwar. As soon as advocate Dinesh Kumar stood up to argue the case filed by a former PGI employee, Sat Pal Bhardwaj, the judge smilingly asked: â€œWhat is the personal score this petitioner wants to settle?â€ When Kumar submitted that the extension granted to Dr Talwar was unconstitutional, Justice Surya Kant questioned the motive behind filing the petition and refused to show any conviction in the stand taken by the petitioner. He observed: â€œHad this petitioner not been a retired employee, I would have imposed a cost of Rs 50,000 on him. He is a retired employee. What does he have to do with the director of PGI?â€
