At the hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that at this belated stage, he will not be in a position to persuade the Court to grant relief in terms of the prayer. He further submitted that the issue relating to validity of the instructions issued by the Government of India and the Rules framed by the Medical Council of India fixing the criteria for determination of disability is under consideration before the Supreme Court and, therefore, he may be allowed to withdraw the writ petition with liberty to his client to file fresh one. Learned counsel for the respondents say that they do not have any objection. In view of the above, the request of the learned counsel is accepted and the writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn with liberty in terms of the prayer made. While disposing of the writ petition, in the manner indicated above, we make it clear that the writ petitioner shall be entitled to file a fresh petition, if for the session 2006- 07 similar criterion is adopted by the State Government, the Medical Council of India and the University for the purpose of admission of physically handicapped persons to medical courses.
