ANIL BAJAJ (DR.) vs POST GRADUATE INSTITUTE OF MEDICAL EDUCATION AND RESEARCH

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, affirming the High Court's decision that the appellant's lien with the institute was automatically terminated due to his failure to resume duty within the stipulated two-year period as per the guidelines. The Court held that the principle of estoppel applies, preventing the appellant from challenging the conditions of his ex-post facto sanction to work abroad, given that he did not return as required. The Court noted that the facts were undisputed, making further inquiry unnecessary.
