1.

These public interest litigations are concerning the NRI Quota in private medical colleges.

2. One of the writ petitioners, namely, the petitioner in WPA 17019 of 2019 is no more.

3. As rightly submitted by the learned advocate for the National Medical Commission that after 2020 the entire Rules have been changed and the institutions have no longer any role in admitting the students under the NRI Quota. Apart from that, there has also been changes in sponsorship of candidates as to who can sponsor candidates to be admitted under the NRI Quota. That apart, the students who are alleged to have been given admission in violation of the norms have completed the Course by now and as of now the entire issue has become academic and nothing would survive for adjudication.

4. Therefore, these writ petitions stand disposed of.
