Patient’s mother moves court for extending Venugopal term

NEW DELHI: A woman whose nine-year-old son’s heart ailment is being personally looked into by AIIMS Director P. Venugopal has moved the Delhi High Court for a direction to the Centre to extend his term in office by six months to help her son receive his final treatment. Dr. Venugopal’s term ends on July 2. However, the treatment of the petitioner’s ailing son is unlikely to be over till that date due to Dr. Venugopal’s busy schedule.

Filing a petition through her counsel Sugriv Dubey, Meera Mishra said her son’s treatment remained incomplete during the period Dr. Venugopal was removed from the post earlier this year and it might remain so if his term in office is not extended. Following the AIIMS (Amendment) Bill, 2007, passed by Parliament in November last year, Dr. Venugopal was out of the office of Director but the Supreme Court reinstated him on May 8.
