Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court directed the Central Government to form a Committee within four months to address the grievances of nurses regarding their working conditions and pay in private hospitals and nursing homes. The Court emphasized that the recommendations of this Committee should be considered for legislative action, but declined to issue specific guidelines as requested by the petitioner. The Court noted that the bond system previously practiced by hospitals has been abolished, rendering that grievance moot.
