For appellant : Mr. S. Kannan For respondents: Mr. Viswanath Government Advocate for State Ms. A.L. Gandhimathi for Dr.MGR Medical University COMMON JUDGMENT (Judgement of the Court was delivered by P. SATHASIVAM,J.) It is not in dispute that the learned single Judge while disposing of the writ petitions filed by the respondents herein/petitioners therein, directed the official respondents in these appeals to consider the case of the writ petitioners positively bearing in mind the observations made by him and pass orders expeditiously. Aggrieved by he said common order, Director of Medical Council of India, New Delhi, first respondent in he writ petitions alone filed the above writ appeals. 2. It is brought to our notice that even in the year 2003, it was represented to the Court that the writ petitioners have completed their course and also received degree certificates. It is also not in dispute that though the learned Judge passed an order issuing directions even on 27.03.2002, admittedly, no stay was granted by the Division Bench and in fact the stay applications were closed by order dated 21.08.2003. Considering the factual aspects, viz., the writ petitioners have completed their course and received degree certificate even in the year 2003 and in the absence of positive information about the compliance of the direction of the learned single Judge dated 27.03.2002, we are not inclined to interfere with the impugned order at this juncture. Accordingly, both the writ appeals are closed. No costs. Sd/ Asst.Registrar /true copy/ Sub Asst.Registrar kh https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ To 1.
