Summary
- An illegal pathlab operating without a qualified pathologist was sealed.
- The lab owner failed to produce valid registration documents during inspection.
- A case was registered against the owner on June 1 under the Indian Medical Council Act.
In Pilibhit, health authorities and the local administration took decisive action against an unlicensed medical facility. On May 27, a team led by Dr. Lokesh Kumar, in-charge of Barkhera CHC, and the Nayab Tehsildar raided "Isba Pathology" near Tazia Ground in Barkhera town. This action was taken under orders from the sub-divisional magistrate and the medical flying squad.
The primary reason for the raid was the lab's operation without a qualified pathologist. During the inspection, the lab's owner, Mohammad Irfan, who hails from Bareilly, failed to produce any valid registration documents. This failure to comply with medical regulations led to further action.
Consequently, Barkhera police registered a case against Mohammad Irfan on June 1. The charges were filed under Section 15(3) of the Indian Medical Council Act, as confirmed by SHO Satyendra Kumar. The sealing of the lab marks a significant step in ensuring medical service compliance in the region.
