The Delhi High Court today pulled up a woman doctor of Safadarjung Hospital for allegedly meeting her examiner after giving an entrance exam for post-graduation in medical science from Vardhman Mahavir Medical College here.

The doctor, who had moved the court alleging bias by her professors in marking her, found herself on the receiving end with the bench of Justice Manmohan restraining her from speaking to the examiner in future with regard to her performance before, during and after the examination, saying she could be dismissed from the course if she does so again.

"You are not supposed to meet the examiner. Who gave you the permission? The student has no right to approach. Please understand where are you going. It's a zero tolerance area. Tomorrow you will meet the judge and ask about the cases," the court said.
 

The court made the remarks while hearing a plea filed by the doctor, appearing for her doctor of medicine (MD) entrance exam from Vardhman Mahavir Medical College under Safdarjang Hospital here, alleging that the department head and the professors were biased against her and were deliberately giving her less marks in the practicals.

She, through her counsel, submitted that she and her father had made a video recording in which the concerned professor had informed them that she did well in her practicals.

"The action of the professors are politically motivated against the interests of the student. She has been failed by the professor deliberately in order to cover up their misdeed and act of vengeance," the doctor's counsel told the court.

However, advocate Sumeet Pushkarna, who appeared for the Centre and the hospital, opposed the doctor's contention and said the woman's act is absolutely wrong and also questioned how she can make such type of a video recording.

"The petition is based on bias. It's not maintainable," Pushkarna contended.
