Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI & F.M. REIS, JJ. AUGUST 21, 2009. Heard Shri Khapre with Shri Tathod, learned counsel for the petitioners, Shri V.V. Bhangde, learned Senior Advocate with Shri R.M. Bhangde, Advocate for respondent No.2. Respondent No.5 – institution runs a Punjabrao Deshmukh Memorial Medical College and it has been only served with a show cause notice for de- recognition on 22.2.2008. Till date formal order of de- recognition has not been passed. All petitioners have appeared for their final M.B.B.S. Examination before the said date and have also passed that examination. As name of Respondent No.5 – College was deleted from its prospectus by Respondent No.2, the petitioners apprehend that their degrees will not be treated as recognized qualification for considering their claim for admission to Post Graduate Course all over India and hence they have approached this Court with the said grievance. 2 Shri Bhangde, learned Senior Advocate states that Respondent No.2 has already circulated name of Respondent No.5 – Punjabrao Deshmukh Memorial Medical College as recognized one to all relevant institutions so that the petitioners would not face any problem for admission to Post Graduate course and therefore, the grievance of the petitioners to that extent is already redressed. He further states that as and when the petitioners apply for grant of registration, their applications will be considered in accordance with law and they will be issued registration certificates. It appears that the petitioners, though have passed their final M.B.B.S. Examination, they have not been issued degree certificates by Respondent No.4 – Maharashtra University of Health Sciences, Nashik. In these circumstances, in view of the stand of Respondent No.2, it is apparent that at the relevant time the College was recognized and hence, there is no reason for Respondent No.4 for withholding of degree certificates. Accordingly, we direct Respondent No.4 - Maharashtra University of Health Sciences, Nashik, to issue degree certificates to all the petitioners, if there is no other impediment in the matter. The petitioners are free to apply to Respondent No.2 for issuance of permanent registration certificate after receipt of degree certificate or even otherwise, if the law permits and if the said applications are received by Respondent No.2 and found in 3 accordance with law and as per their rules, Respondent No.2 - MCI shall issue permanent registration certificate to the petitioners. It is pointed out to us that the name of Respondent No.3 – institution as recognized and eligible institution for the purposes of admitting its student to Post Graduate Course has been circulated by Respondent No.2 - MCI because of interim orders passed by this Court. The said interim order is, therefore, confirmed accordingly. In view of this, we find that the grievance made by the petitioners before us is already redressed. Hence, the present writ petition is allowed to that extent and disposed of. However, there shall be no order as to costs. JUDGE JUDGE *GS.
