Medical education: HC summons DG over non-compliance

The High Court yesterday summoned the director general of  Directorate General of Medical Education (DGME) to appear before it over  non-compliance of its order for producing some documents regarding  admission of a medical student.

The DG has been ordered to appear along with the original  record of admission of Md Shariful Islam, a student of Chattogram BGC  Trust Medical College, before the HC bench of Justice Zafar Ahmed and  Justice Md Bashir Ullah on January 24.

The bench issued the summon order during the hearing of a writ  petition filed by Shariful, a third-year medical student, challenging a  decision of Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council that refused to register him as a student.

Shariful's lawyer Mohammad Shishir Manir told The Daily Star that the  HC on November 24 last year first directed the office of DG to submit the record of his client's admission as medical student  to this court.
