Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Government Pleader for respondent. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that elections to the Medical Council of Maharashtra were held in the year 2009. However, till this date, the respondent-State has failed to discharge its statutory obligation in view of the provisions of Section 3 of the Maharashtra Medical Council Act, 1965. Learned counsel for the petitioner has further submitted that the entire process is already over and still the notification under Section 3 of the Act has not been issued and, therefore, appropriate direction be given to the State Government to do so within the stipulated period. 3. Mr Sambre, learned Government Pleader has submitted that the matter is under consideration of the 2 Government. It is also not in dispute that in Writ Petition No. 1124 of 2009 pending at Mumbai questioning the elections to the Medical Council, there is no interim order passed by the Court. 4. It is evident that elections to the Maharashtra Medical Council have already taken place in the year 2009. It is further not in dispute that as per the provisions of Section 3 of the Act, the State Government is required to issue notification to constitute a Council called “the Maharashtra Medical Council”. 5. In the circumstances, we dispose of the petition with direction to the respondent to issue notification under Section 3 of the Act within a period of six weeks from the date of communication of this order, if there is no legal impediment in doing so.
