A PIL seeking to declare the ongoing strike by government medical college teachers was illegal, unconstitutional and unwarranted was filed in the Kerala High Court today.
When the petition by journalist Leela Menon came up before a division bench comprising chief justice SR Bannurmath and justice AK Basheer, the court adjourned the PIL to Tuesday.
The government informed the court that a high level meeting had been convened and decision was conveyed to the striking doctors. Only after getting their response, further action would be taken.
The petitioner also sought for a declaration that members of the Kerala government college teachers association and its president Dr Varghese Thomas were responsbile for any deaths during the strike period. The petitioner also sought to invoke ESMA against the members of the association.
