Patna High Court CWJC No.13983 of 2025(2) dt.30-10-2025 2/3 provisions of Nurses Training and Recognition Affiliation and conduct of Examination of School of Nursing Rules, 1997.

3. Learned Advocate for the petitioner referring to the various annexures appended to the writ petition has contended that notwithstanding the No Objection Certificate having been duly issued by the Collectorate, Begusarai as well as by the Civil Surgeon-cum-Chief Medical Officer, Begusarai with the necessary permission for establishment of Nursing Institution conducting ANM Courses, till date physical inspection of the petitioner-institution has not been done. It is submitted that other institutions, which had approached this Court, in pursuant to the order of this Court, physical inspection has been done; however, discrimination has been caused and the petitioner has been compelled to approach this Court by filing the present writ petition.

4. Learned Advocate for the State and the learned Advocate for the Bihar Nurses Registration Council submit at the Bar that regarding recognition and permission for the new institution(s), all the activities are put to stall awaiting the report of the Quality Council of India. However, this Court has been apprised that now the report has been submitted in the month of September, 2025.
