The petitioner-society, in pursuance of the notification issued by the Chairman, Selection Committee for Paramedical Institutions, has submitted its application complying with all the requirements. In pursuance thereof, the Chairman, Selection Committee appointed inspection team and the same has inspected and submitted its report. In the mean time, the Selection Committee was disbanded. Thereafter, the second respondent-Director of Medical Education by proceedings dated 18-11-2004 directed re-inspection of petitioner’s School of Nursing and to submit the report as to whether the defects painted out in the earlier report are rectified. The only grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents have failed to take any further steps and no orders have been passed, so far. In those circumstances, the petitioner made a representation dated 16-02-2005 requesting to accord permission to start Maheswari School of Nursing, however, the respondents have not taken any steps. Hence, this writ petition. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Medical and Health appearing for the respondents. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and particularly in view of the fact that the Inspection Committee has already submitted its report, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 16-02-2005 and pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and communicate the same to the petitioner.
