The apex court also ordered the local administration to monitor to ensure smooth operation of essential services.
Services at TUTH had been affected since March 15 and emergency services halted since March 23 following a strike by doctors, students and teachers against alleged rigging of entrance exams for postgradute studies in medicine by the dean of the Institute of Medicine (IOM).
The hospital resumed services on Thursday after the Education Ministry formed a five-member committee on Wednesday to investigate all irregularities at IOM since the last academic year.
