THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITIONS No. 26051 and 26075 OF 2011 COMMON ORDER : Both these Writ Petitions can be disposed of by this common order, as they arise in identical circumstances with identical relief sought for. The case of the writ petitioners is that elections were conducted to the Central Council of Indian Medicine for electing the two representatives from the State of Andhra Pradesh and they were notified through a gazette publication, dated 24.08.2011. Alleging several irregularities that were said to have been committed by the 2nd respondent Returning Officer of the Elections, the petitioners herein have filed the necessary appeals before the Government of India, in terms of sub-section (2) of Section 4 of the Indian Medical Central Council Act, 1970. They are still pending. Sri G. Rama Rao, learned Standing Counsel for Central Government submits that in view of the gravity of the allegations levelled, the Government of India will require time to collect the necessary material and then alone take a decision in the matter. He suggests that reasonable period of time may be accorded to the Government of India to decide the entire issue and pass appropriate orders on the appeals said to have been preferred by the petitioners. I hope and trust that the Central Government will be able to decide the issue after putting the persons, who are likely to be impacted by its decision, on notice and take a final decision in the matter on or before 31.12.2011 and communicate the decision taken thereon to the petitioners herein. All such contentions, which are canvassed in these Writ Petitions are kept open. The Writ Petitions are therefore, disposed of at the admission stage. No costs. ---------------------------------------------- (NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J) 19th September 2011 ksld
