From the facts on record, admittedly none of the three petitioners as on 15th March, 2002 were citizens of India. Further they did not possess a Degree from a Medical Institutions included in Schedule II to the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956. . The Petitioners by the present petition had sought relief to direct the Respondents to take 2 concrete steps to recognize the M.B.B.S. Degree of Baluchistan in Pakistan under Section 13(4) of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 and accordingly consequential relief. The Government of India has amended the Indian Medical Council Act by the Amendment Act of 2001. By virtue of the said amendment there can be no further amendment to Part- II of Schedule III of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956. In other words the reliefs as prayed for presently in the present petition are not available to the petitioners. In the light of that we find no merit in the petitions which are accordingly disposed of. (F.I.REBELLO,J.) (F.I.REBELLO,J.) (F.I.REBELLO,J.) (S.P. KUKDAY,J.) (S.P. KUKDAY,J.) (S.P. KUKDAY,J.)
