He, however, submits that in similar matters, the Medical Council of India is planning to file SLPs in the Hon'ble Supreme Court. The fact that the respondents want to file SLPs in similar matters would not be a ground to not to allow this writ petition in the same terms as CWP No.4698-CAT of 2004, titled as Medical Council of India vs. Union of India etc. CWP No.1496 of 2008 -2- In view of the above, we set aside the impugned Clause 21 of “General Remarks” of Annexure P-17 and Annexure P-23 and allow the writ petition in terms of the ratio in CWP No.4698-CAT of 2004.
