New Delhi 8 May: The Centre on Thursday suffered a setback with the Supreme Court striking down the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences and Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (Amendment) Act and restoring P. Venugopal as AIIMS Director.Though he was appointed for five years till July 2 this year, Dr. Venugopal demitted office in December 2007 as the law fixed the superannuation age at 65. Now, he joined office soon after the judgment by a Bench consisting of Justices Tarun Chatterjee and H.S. Bedi, which allowed his writ petition challenging the legislation.Dr. Venugopal alleged that the law was enacted at the instance of Union Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss out of personal bias and demanded that he be restrained from interfering directly or indirectly in AIIMS’ affairs.
