“We are all domiciles of India; there is no separate provincial or state domicile. There is only one domicile, and we are all residents of India. We have the right to choose our residence anywhere in the country and pursue trade and profession freely. The Constitution also grants us the right to seek admission to educational institutions across India.” The Case That Led to This Verdict The Supreme Court’s decision builds on a 2019 case – Dr Tanvi Behl (SV) vs Shrey Goel and Others – in which the Punjab and Haryana High Court had already declared domicile quotas in PG medical admissions unconstitutional. Given the importance of the matter, especially for states like Chandigarh with only one medical college, the issue was referred to a larger three-judge bench for a definitive ruling, which has now been delivered.   In a judgment delivered on Wednesday (January 29), the Supreme Court observed that the concept of regional or provincial domicile is alien to the Indian legal system.

Refer a patient, get a cut: Commission game is back in a murkier avatar Despite curbs, hospitals find ways to give payouts for referrals. Patient is left footing the bill. By Rema Nagarajan   Is your doctor referring you to a top hospital for a procedure because he is getting a commission? Can you be sure you need that procedure when the size of the commission depends on the cost of the procedure? The practice of giving ‘cuts’ or commissions to doctors is prohibited by the National Medical Commission, but the fact that it happens is an open secret. Some corporate hospital chains and even mid-sized hospitals have found ways to get around the rules by using euphemisms such as facilitation charges and continuum-of-care charges. Hospitals have various strategies ‘Money-minded’ doctors are offered cuts on tests and procedures. Egoistic ones are lured with dinners and a chance to interact with the hospital’s star doctors on stage. ‘Ethical doctors’ insist that their patients ...
