Himachal HC quashes NOC rejection, allows doctor to join Super Specialty Course

Shimla, June 19 (UNI) In a significant judgment benefiting medical professionals, the Himachal Pradesh High Court has quashed the state government’s decision to deny a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to Dr. Pankaj Sharma, a Senior Resident at Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru Government Medical College (PJLNGMC), Chamba, for pursuing a super specialty course in Medical Oncology.
Justice Sandeep Sharma, in an order passed on June 17, directed the state authorities to issue the NOC and release Dr. Sharma’s original MBBS degree by 12 noon on June 18, 2025. The court further allowed the petitioner to join the course at Paras Hospital, Punjab, on the condition that he deposits Rs 40 lakh as bond money within a week and furnishes a written undertaking.
Dr. Sharma, currently serving as a Tutor Specialist/Senior Resident in Chamba, had applied for an NOC to join the Diplomate of National Board Super Specialty (DNB SS) course after clearing the national entrance examination. However, his request was denied by the Director of Health Services on the ground that he had not completed the mandatory one-year field posting after his postgraduate studies.
