SRINAGAR: The Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh High Court turned down a request for relief from contractual doctors who were allegedly looking to continue working after the closure of COVID-19 hospitals, Latestly reported.
Notably, the high court ruled against a petition filed by 116 doctors and medical staff who sought to continue their services at temporary coronavirus hospitals even after they were closed down.
“The contractual employment has no vested right to continue and it is not open for the Courts to direct an employer to continue the contract or to change the status of the contractual employment in any manner, once the same has been accepted by consent of both the sides,” the high court bench of Justice MA Chowdhary said.
