% 16.09.2016 The petitioner has filed the present petition seeking grant of recognition to the petitioner institute. It is contended that the Medical Council of India (MCI) had recommended the case of the petitioner, however, formal letter of approval has not been issued by the Central Government.

It was contended by learned counsel for the Medical Council of India the matter was pending before the Oversight Committee appointed by the Supreme Court.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner W.P.(C) 8217/2015

has received an e-mail from the Secretary of the Oversight Committee that the Oversight Committee has no objection to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare taking further necessary action in accordance with the provisions of the MCI Act and the regulations made thereunder.

Learned counsel appearing for the MCI submits that the Medical Council had already recommended the case of the petitioner to the Central Government.

The respondents are accordingly directed to proceed further with the application of the petitioner and dispose of the same. Since it is contended that the Counselling in the State of Tamil Nadu is to take place on 19th September, 2016, the Central Government is directed to dispose of the application of the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, keeping in view that the counselling is to take place on 19th September, 2016.

The Writ Petition is disposed of in the above terms. Order dasti under signature of the Court Master. SANJEEV SACHDEVA, J SEPTEMBER 16, 2016 'rs'
