IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL WRIT PETITION NO. 154 OF 2009 (MS) Shruti Dhulia & others. ………Petitioners. Versus Sri Guru Ram Rai Institute of Medical and Health Sciences & others. ……………Respondents. Mr. D.C.S. Rawat, Advocate for petitioners. Mr. Rajendra Dobhal, Advocate for respondent no. 1 and 2. 19th March, 2009 Hon’ble Sudhanshu Dhulia, J. Petitioners are admittedly students of First Professional in Sri Guru Ram Rai Institute of Medical and Health Sciences, Patel Nagar, Dehradun (hereinafter referred to as “the Institute”). Their grievance is that since they have failed in the first professional, they are not being allowed to attend classes of Second Professional. Hence the present writ petition. 2. The argument of the petitioners is that this practice has been adopted in the past and the Institute had granted permission to those students, who had failed in the first professional to undergo classes of second professional and consequently they were allowed to give examination of first professional as well as that of second professional. 3. In the counter affidavit, it has been stated that the medical college is bound by the Medical Council Regulations, 1997 and the Regulations clearly stipulates that passing in first professional is compulsory before proceeding to phase-II training. Phase-II training would be the second professional training. Since, admittedly this is the case, the petitioners have been rightly denied attendance of classes in second professional. Merely because the Institute has allowed some students to appear in second professional in the past (although this fact has not been established) and assuming it to be true, this itself would not be a ground for the petitioners to allow them to appear in the 2nd professional examination although admittedly they have failed in the 1st professional examination. Two wrongs do not make a right and merely, because a wrong practice has been adopted in the past, the same shall not give any right to the petitioners. 4. For the reasons disclosed above, writ petition is without merit and is dismissed as such. No order as to costs. (Sudhanshu Dhulia, J.) 19.3.2009 Rathour
