Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Central Government Senior Panel Counsel appearing for the respondents.
2. The first petitioner is the mother and the petitioners 2 and 3 are her children. It appears that the petitioner got tourist visa and it has been used for the treatment given to the first petitioner. Though it was the case of the misusing the tourist visa, taking a sympathetic view the visa was converted into Medical visa without extending the period. Accordingly the period mentioned in the visa got expired on 19.09.2015.
3. Placing reliance upon the certificate issued by the Surgeon, the petitioners have come forward with this Writ Petition seeking further extension of Visa.
4. The certificate issued by the Surgeon on 16.09.2015 is extracted hereunder:
"This is to certify that Mrs.Khin Mya Win (Myanmar Passport Number MB 244264) aged 64 Female is suffering from Chronic Kidney Failure and Coronary Artery Disease. She needs to undergo Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery followed by kidney Transplantation.
This is a major Open Heart Operation. She is likely to stay in the hospital for 30 days and come for review periodically for 6 months. Since she is a foreign national from Myanmar, she is advised to get a Medical Visa for proceeding with Surgery. She will need two attendants to look after her during this period. A visa may kindly be issued to her Son Mr.Nay Win (Passport No MB 244265) and her daughter Mrs.Than Than Win (Passport number (M936207)to take care of her for 6 months."
5. A perusal of the said certificate would make it apparent that the first petitioner's surgery was over and what is required is the periodical review. For the said purpose, the petitioner do not require six months time. Review is only meant for checking the patient. This can also be done in the country in which the petitioners have come.
6.Taking into consideration the nature of surgery undergone by the first petitioner, who is a lady aged about 64 years, this Writ Petition is disposed of by directing the respondents to extend the
residential permit for a further period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, making it clear that the no more extension would be granted to the petitioners. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed. Sd/- Assistant Registrar True Copy Sub Assistant Registrar arr To
