The counsel for director of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) P Venugopal on Tuesday alleged that Union Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss had 'sponsored' the PIL filed in the Delhi High Court challenging his appointment as the head of the institute.
The petition filed by the Centre for Public Interest Litigation (CPIL) alleges that Venugopal's appointment made in 2003 for six years was illegal as the director was due for superannuation in the middle of his tenure in 2007.
The matter was argued before a Bench comprising Justices Swatanter Kumar and HR Malhotra.
Senior Counsel Lalit Bhasin, appearing for Venugopal, said,<b> "The petition is a sponsored one. It is motivated and sponsored by the president of AIIMS who is also a Minister."</b>
<b>Replying to the allegation of the petitioner that a person could not hold the post after the superannuating age, he contended that the post of director of the institute was a tenure post and it was not regulated like other posts. </b>
He also argued that there was no provision regarding the upper age limit for the director to continue in his post and only minimum age limit was there.
The petitioner had contended that at present Venugopal was holding two posts of Head of the Department of Cardio-thorasic and the director of the institute, which was not legal.
