Srinagar, July 21: The state high court has directed Commissioner Secretary to Government, Health Services Department, to provide details of those doctors who got MBBS training from government medical college but have abandoned their government services in the state.
Hearing a writ petition, a single bench of the court comprising Justice Muzaffar Hussain Attar directed the Commissioner Secretary to furnish the details by August 3.

Meanwhile, the court granted further time to the petitioner to file an affidavit as was directed to her by the court on April 15.
"In case affidavit is not filed, then appropriate orders will be passed in the matter," the court added.
