(Oral) The petitioner-Medical Council seeks a mandamus to direct the States of Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh to lay down standards and norms for affiliation, recognition and registration of para-medical courses and establish its statutory body authorized to affiliate, recognize and register the institutions imparting such training. During the course of hearing, I find that somewhat similar legal issue came up for consideration before a Co-ordinate Bench in Civil Writ Petition No.13121 of 2009 (Para Medical Council (Punjab) versus State of Punjab and others) which has been dismissed vide order dated CWP No.20284 of 2009 [2] 17.8.2011. For the reasons assigned in aforementioned order dated 17.8.2011 passed in Para Medical Council's case (supra), the present writ petition is also dismissed.
