Aggrieved thereby, petitioner filed this writ petition. Heard learned Counsel for the parties and perused the entire material available on record. A perusal of the material available on record goes to show that on 21-09- 2000, while admitting the Writ Petition, this Court vide W.P.M.P.No.21801 of 2000, dated 21-09-2000, passed the following interim order: “ The petitioner, along with his wife i.e., the mother of the patient C.Anantha Krishna, are directed to approach the Superintendent, Govt.
