Consultant Judicial Medical Officer (JMO) Dr. Ruhul Haq, who is in hot water after being found to have acted against the suspension imposed by the Sri Lanka Medical Council (SLMC), is likely to face an extension, the Daily Mirror learns.

According to informed sources, numerous parties have demanded from the SLMC that the suspension of the particular JMO should be extended, which is due to end on August 20.

Hence, the SLMC is contemplating extending the suspension.

In addition, SLMC President Prof. Vajira Dissanayake told the Daily Mirror that the SLMC had sought legal advice on taking further action against the JMO.

"We are currently seeking legal advice in order to facilitate disciplinary action against the JMO," Prof. Dissanayake said.

Meanwhile, the Health Ministry has launched a ministerial-level investigation into Dr. Ruhul Haq, who had practised notwithstanding the suspension. (Sheain Fernandopulle)

A judicial medical officer acting outside of the law. This has happened before too, but no action until the natural death of the involved individuals.
