CWP No.7792 of 2010 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No.7792 of 2010 (O&M) Decided on : 28-03-2011 Sadbhavna Society (Regd.) Raikot & Governing Body of Bengal Institute of Health Sciences ....Petitioner VERSUS State of Punjab and others ....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER Present:- Mr.S.S.Behl, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Salil Sagar, Addl. AG, Punjab Mr. S.B.Kaushik, Advocate for respondent no.2. Mr.K.S.Dadwal, Advocate for respondent no.3. MAHESH GROVER, J Learned counsel for the petitioner states that even though he sought time to place on record certain documents but he has not been able to do so. He prays for permission to argue the instant writ petition without filing the said documents. The dispute in the instant petition is that the petitioner wants the nomenclature of the institute to be changed for which permission was required from the Indian Nursing Council which is the competent authority to grant permission to effect such a change. Notice of motion having been issued they have responded to the petition and have stated that the petitioner never applied for the same. The stand is reflected in para 6 of the counter affidavit in reply on behalf of CWP No.7792 of 2010 (O&M) 2 respondent no.2, which is extracted herebelow:- “That it is keeping in mind the aforesaid provisions and the provisions of section 16 of the Indian Nursing Council Act 1947 that the Council has been issuing regulations/office memorandum as regards various issues concerning the nursing institutions. In so far as relating to change of names of the institutions, the answering respondent has issued specific guidelines under which the concerned institution seeking change of name has to apply. After receipt of application, the matter is proceeded with and in case all the terms and conditions are satisfied then in that event permission to change the name of the institution is duly given and such a changed name is duly incorporated in the registers of the answering respondent. True copy of the guidelines relating to change of name of nursing institutions is annexed and marked as Annexure R-1.” Learned counsel for the petitioner states that if this is the sole objection, they will apply afresh and that in such an eventuality their case be considered in accordance with law. Learned counsel for the respondent no.2 states that he has no objection if the instant petition is disposed of with an observation that in case the petitioner applies for the necessary change of the nomenclature within a period of four weeks from today they shall consider and dispose of such a request in accordance with law within a period of six weeks thereafter. This satisfies the learned counsel for the petitioner who states that the instant petition may be disposed of in view of what has been stated CWP No.7792 of 2010 (O&M) 3 above. Hence, disposed of in the aforesaid terms. March 28, 2011 (Mahesh Grover) rekha Judge
