Nursing Degree in accordance with the rules. 2. The dispute in this writ petition relates to the requirement as to whether the petitioners should have completed 12 months' compulsory rotating internship. It was for non-completion of this internship that the transfer certificates and other documents were declined to be issued to them. It is the specific case of the petitioners that they belong to 2002 batch and successfully completed the course by 2006. 3. The petitioners have now produced G.O.(Rt.) No.338/2008/H&FWD dated 28.1.2008 wherein it is stated that the WP(C) 18549/07 Page numbers Government have ordered that the students admitted during 2002 and passed the B.Sc. Nursing Degree in 2006 are exempted from internship for one year ordered as per Government Order dated 5.7.2007. 4. In view of the aforesaid Government Order, produced as Ext.P7, I direct that respondents 5 and 6 shall consider their case for issuance of the certificate in the light of the Government Order and take appropriate action in the matter. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four weeks from the date of production of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above.
