MANISH SHARMA vs DIRECTOR DEPTT.OF MEDICAL EDU.& RESEARCH

The Supreme Court directed the competent authority to determine whether the appellant's two-year Post-Graduate Diploma is equivalent to the required Post-Graduate Degree in Anaesthesiology as per the Recruitment and Promotion Rules under the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956. The Court noted that the High Court's previous ruling, which stated that a Post-Graduate Diploma cannot be treated as a Post-Graduate qualification, should not impede the competent authority's decision. The Court emphasized the need for a timely resolution within one month of the judgment's production.
