A.N.Gupte for respondent nos.1 and 2. J.J.Saluja, AGP for responent no.3. CORAM : MOHIT S. SHAH, C.J. AND S.J.KATHAWALLA, J. DATE : 16th November 2010 P. C. : 1. When the matter was called out yesterday, neither the petitioner nor the petitioner's advocate was present. Hence, the matter was directed to be listed today under the caption "for dismissal". Today also when the matter is called out, none appear for the petitioner. 2. Learned counsel for respondent no.1-The Maharashtra Medical Council and learned counsel for respondent no.2-The Registrar, Maharashtra Medical Council as well as the learned AGP appearing for the State of Maharashtra state that while admitting the petition on 9th June 1997, this Court had granted an interim stay of the inquiry against the petitioner being conducted by The Maharashtra Medical Council. 3. While granting the stay of the inquiry this Court had also directed that the trial in the criminal case against the petitioner pending in the mst 2 WP.369.1997 Metropolitan Magistrate's Court be expedited. 4. Apart from the fact that the learned advocate for the petitioner and the petitioner are absent, we are of the view that since the petition is directed against an inquiry which is pending, the petition is pre-mature. On that ground alone the petition deserves to be dismissed. 5. Accordingly, the petition is dismissed. Rule is discharged. Interim orders granted earlier stands vacated forthwith. All parties to act on an ordinary copy of this order duly authenticated by Registry of this Court. CHIEF JUSTICE S.J.KATHAWALLA J.
