CORAM:

HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE REKHA PALLI

O R D E R

% 02.02.2018 Learned senior counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that though the petitioner has been given a hearing by the respondent no.1 on 9th January, 2018, after which the petitioner has, in response to the queries raised, submitted another representation dated 16th January, 2018 to the Oversight Committee of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India, respondent no.1 has till date not communicated any decision taken thereon. Mr.Ajay Digpaul, learned counsel appearing for respondent no.1 on advance notice submits that the matter is under active consideration of the respondent no.1 and prays for three weeks time to dispose of the petitioner's representation. However, keeping in view the fact that in the present case,

the timeline prescribed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India for admission to Medical Colleges, has to be strictly adhered to, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this petition with a direction to respondent no.1 to decide the petitioner's representation within two weeks by passing a reasoned and speaking order. A copy of the same shall be supplied to the petitioner.

In case the petitioner is aggrieved by the order passed by the respondent no.1, it will open to it to take legal recourse as permissible under law. Needless to say that the present order is being passed without prejudice to the respective rights and contentions of the parties. The writ petition along with all pending applications, is disposed with the aforesaid directions.
