Dress code at an educational institute
I am a doctor. I have completed M.B.B.S. degree.I recently enrolled myself at an educational institute called medvarsity, which has a tie up with apollo hospital located at sarita vihar, new delhi for a post graduate diploma in emergency medicine. When i went to report to the medvarsity people on the 24th of july, they directed me to the emergency department of apollo hospital. I was wearing a kurta pyjama at that time. The concerned person i met in the emergency department told me that wearing kurta pyjama is not allowed in the hospital. When i went there again today, i asked her to put my name in the duty roster as the last date for reporting is 26th july (according to an email which the medvarsity people sent me), and the hospital is closed on that day(sunday). She said that that will not be possible until i agree to wear trousers and shirt. then i asked her to show me the hospital's written rules and regulation regarding dress code. She showed me a sheet of paper on which it was written that people working/studying at the hospital should dress according to good business sense, and good business sense does not include blue jeans, halter tops, casual sportswear, midriffs etc. Nowhere was there any mention of any prohibition on kurta pyjama or any other form of traditional indian attire.When i pointed this out to her, she could not give me any satisfactory answer. I asked her to give me those written rules and regulations, but she did not give it to me. So as the situation now stands, i have not been allowed to join the hospital because of wearing traditional attire.

Are there any precedents for this kind of case? Is it necessary to hire a lawyer to send a legal/lawyer's notice? In case i do file a case, what are my chances of winning?
