Confusion
and chaos at MMC
The absence of a regular administrator at Maharashtra
Medical Council (MMC) for the last five years
has plagued settlement of medico-legal cases.
According to the MMC Registrar’s office,
the total number of cases pending at MMC is over
107. While the number of cases has shown a sudden
increase since 2002, slow dispensation of justice,
with cases pending for more than a year or two,
necessitates a fully functional MMC body.
