Ex-hospital director seeks judicial review over demotion
Dr P Yogendra is seeking a declaration that the Sabah Health Committee for Placement and Transfers lacked authority to remove him from the position and functions of hospital director.
Former Kota Kinabalu hospital director seeks judicial review over his demotion and redesignation, following allegations of sexual harassment. Dr P Yogendra claims police classified the report as needing "no further action", and the complainant assumed his duties after his demotion. He is seeking an order to stay the implementation of the decision pending the final disposal of the judicial review application, and a declaration that the decisions were unlawful and null.
Yogendra's attorneys argue that the removal was unlawful, procedurally unfair, and breached his right to a fair hearing under the Federal Constitution. The state health committee for placement and transfers lacked lawful authority to remove him, and he seeks reinstatement with all related benefits.
