1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION (LODGING) NO.2015 OF 2009 Dr.Vikram Sanghvi & Anr. .. Petitioners V/s Maharashtra Medical Council of India & Ors. .. Respondents Mr.Mihir Desai with Mr.Rai Rodrigues & Mr.Sagar Talekar for Petitioners. Mr.Rohan Surve i/by Mr.Madhav Jamdar for Respondent No.1. Ms.Simran Puri for Respondent No.3. CORAM : D.K.DESHMUKH & R.G.KETKAR, JJ. DATE : 6TH OCTOBER, 2009. P.C.: 1. The grievance of the petitioners is that they have filed appeal before the Respondent No.3 (Medical Council of India) alongwith the application for interim order, but neither their appeal is being heard nor the said application is being heard. The learned counsel for Respondent No.3 states that the appeal and the application of the petitioners will be taken up for consideration by the appellate authority on 9th October, 2009 and on that date either the appeal will be finally disposed of or atleast an order will be passed on the said application. The statement is accepted. In view of this statement, it is not necessary for us to keep the petition pending. 2 2. By an earlier order passed by this Court interim order was made in favour of the petitioners, which operated for a period of three weeks from 3rd June, 2009. In our opinion, considering that the petitioners are Doctors practising in medicine, it will be appropriate to grant interim order in terms of prayer clause (c). 3. This interim order will operate till 9th October, 2009 and in case the order adverse to the interest of the petitioners is passed or no order is passed either on the appeal or on the application by Respondent No.3, this interim order will continue to operate further for a period of two weeks from 9th October, 2009. 4. It is clarified that this order is being made as interim working arrangement without referring to the merits of the controversy. Petition disposed of. (D.K.DESHMUKH,J.) (R.G.KETKAR, J.)
