The petitioners-societies, in pursuance of the notification issued by the Secretary, Indian Nursing Council, approached the third respondent complying with all the requirements. In pursuance thereof, the third respondent inspected the petitioners-Societies and recommended the case of the petitioners to the second respondent.

The petitioners have made representation dated 25-01-2005 requesting the respondents to take further steps based on the recommendation made by the third respondent, however, the respondents have not responded. Hence, this writ petition. Heard both the learned counsel. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and particularly in view of the fact that the case of the petitioners has been recommended by the third respondent, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents to consider the representation dated 25-01-2005 submitted by the petitioners 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 petitioners.
