The court was hearing a petition filed by K Jayapandi in 2018 asking the authorities to remove the sealing of his clinic stating that he was not an MBBS graduate. During the hearing, the petitioner’s counsel submitted that the registrar of Annamalai University at Chidambaram had issued an MBBS certificate to the petitioner and hence he is entitled to practise as a medical practitioner.
The registrar of TNMC stated that the provisional medical registration certificate possessed by the petitioner was not issued by TNMC and it was fabricated. C Karthik, who is standing counsel for the TNMC, submitted that the certificate relied on by the petitioner was bogus and the registrar of TNMC had also verified the same from the university.
