Indian doctors in the UK have won a significant legal battle as the Blair government agreed to withdraw a "discriminatory clause" which would have excluded them from job interviews and the appointment process if they did not have visas beyond August 1, 2007.
According to media reports, the High Court here was to hear on Thursday the application filed by the British Association for People of Indian Origin (BAPIO) seeking permission for a judicial review of the injunction on rules affecting Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP) doctors.
As the judge began the hearing, counsel of the secretary of state requested a brief adjournment. BAPIO was then informed that the secretary of state was prepared to concede.
