Ruling by the Madras HC:

Obligation to Serve Underprivileged: The Court asserted that individuals who received their education at the expense of the underprivileged are not entitled to seek exemption from serving them in government hospitals.
Against Medical Ethics: The prime object of the medical profession is to render service to humanity.
