LHC issues fresh notices amidst YDA strike

Lahore High Court (LHC) on Friday issued fresh notices to the parties and sought reply by January 25 over the petition filed for strict action against doctors who had assaulted their senior in Gujranwala.
Justice Ijazul Hassan refused to issue interim order against the young doctors and remarked that the court could not issue order without hearing arguments of both the parties.
Azhar Hussain, in his petition, had pleaded to cancel the licenses of doctors who were observing a strike till next court orders.
No representative of PMDC and Attorney General appeared before the court.
Justice Ijazul Hassan issued fresh notices and put off the hearing till January 25.
Young Doctors Association (YDA) had been observing a strike despite the imposition of the Essential Services Act by the Health Department.
The YDA office-bearers, however, announced continuation of the protest till the acceptance of their demands.
They have also asked for an impartial inquiry into the incident relating to the torture of the Gujranwala DHQ Hospital medical superintendent and senior medics by young doctors.
