Mr. Sujit Kumar Sinha, Advocate =========================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR TRIPATHI ORAL JUDGMENT Date: 07-12-2015 Annexure-5 is the reminder addressed to the Secretary, Health and Family Welfare, Government of Bihar for issuance of Essentiality Certificate for increase of seats from 100 to 150 in M.B.B.S. Course. This letter is dated 15.09.2014. The earlier application in this regard also did not illicit any response from the respondents.
It is a very unacceptable position that the State authorities will sit over such issues for years together and also not respond to writ applications in time because the present writ application was filed more than a year ago on 13.11.2014. In spite of adjourning the matter and keeping it pending,
Patna High Court CWJC No.19350 of 2014 dt.07-12-2015 2 / 2 looking at the nature of the relief, the Principal Secretary, Health, Government of Bihar is directed to take cognizance of the issue of grant of Essentiality Certificate to the institution within a period of eight weeks from the date of production of a copy of this order. The time frame indicated must be adhered to.
Writ application is allowed in terms of the above direction.
