Supreme Court Notice to Centre, NMC on Doctors’ Inhumane Duty Hours Plea

The Supreme Court bench comprising Justices M.M. Sundresh and Nongmeikapam Kotiswar Singh today, i.e., on 22.08.2025, issued notice to the Union Government and the National Medical Commission (NMC) on the plea filed by doctors’ body challenging the ‘inhuman’ working hours of resident doctors.

Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that the doctors under the United Doctors’ Front (UDF) had filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the Supreme Court against the “inhumane working hours of resident doctors”. The association has challenged the “exploitative and unconstitutional working conditions imposed on resident doctors across the country”.
