Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the grievances of nurses in private hospitals regarding their working conditions and pay, emphasizing the need for a Committee to be formed by the Central government within four months to investigate these issues. The Court refrained from issuing specific guidelines, noting that the Indian Nursing Council had abolished the bond system previously practiced by hospitals. The Court directed that the Committee's recommendations should be considered for potential legislative action to improve the situation of nurses within six months of its formation.
