Another twist has been added to the imbroglio between the AIIMS faculty and the Ministry of health and family welfare.

<b>Many faculty members and resident doctors are of the view that the ministry's attempt to interfere in the functioning of the AIIMS by stalling the transfer of institute's registrar VP Gupta amounts to contempt of court. </b>

According to a Delhi High Court order on Oct 18, 2006, "The respondents (Union of India and other respondents) are directed not to implement any adverse decision or resolution against the petitioner (P Venugopal). If passed against the petitioner till further order regarding his tenure appointment and his functioning as director of the AIIMS and any such resolution and decision shall be subject to the outcome of this writ petition". <b>Gupta was transferred (Vig./2-745/2006) to be stationed at Rural Health Centre, Ballabhgarh by the AIIMS authorities by a memo dated Dec 9, 2006. AIIMS vigilance cell found that Gupta was misusing his position and was under-qualified according to the sources.</b>
