GBNEWS24DESK//
The High Court yesterday summoned the director general of the Directorate General of Health Services to appear before it over non-compliance of its order for appointing doctors to 48 vacant posts in the country’s prisons.
The DG has been ordered to appear before the HC bench of Justice KM Kamrul Kader and Justice Mohammad Ali on January 24 with an explanation.
The HC bench passed the order during the hearing of a writ petition filed by Supreme Court lawyer JR Khan Robin, seeking necessary directives.
Following the filing of the petition, the HC on December 13 last year directed the government to recruit doctors to 48 vacant posts in prisons across the country so that inmates get proper treatment.
