Prabhakar Rao, learned counsel for the writ petitioners, Sri K.G. Ravikanth, learned counsel representing Sri K.G.K. Prasad, learned counsel for Deccan College of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad and Smt. K. Jayasree, learned counsel representing Sri D.V. Nagarjuna Babu, learned counsel for NTR University of Health and Medical Sciences, Vijayawada are heard. All the writ petitions are basically directed against giving effect to G.O. Ms. No.217 Health, Medical and Family Welfare (E1) Department, dated 23-7-2004 issued by the State Government in respect of the admissions into M.B.B.S., course for the academic year 2004-2005 and consequential relief to the respective writ petitioners to pursue their admissions and studies in the M.B.B.S., course in Deccan College of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad commencing from the academic year 2004-2005. In all the writ petitions, the impugned G.O. Ms. No.217 Health, Medical and Family Welfare (E1) Department, dated 23-7- 2004 stood suspended by virtue of the interim orders granted by this Court and the respective writ petitioners were permitted to pursue their M.B.B.S., course in Deccan College of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad. In the common order passed in W.P.M.P. No.17175 of 2004 in W.P. No.13410 of 2004 and batch on 23-9- 2004, Hon’ble Sri Justice V.V.S. Rao had gone in depth into the questions involved in the writ petitions with reference to the conflicting contentions of the parties and noted that it will be suffice to refer to the statement in the counter of the Principal Secretary to Government of Andhra Pradesh, Medical and Health Department, which supports the case of the petitioners that these rules are intended to apply to future admissions to M.B.B.S., course and the new rules have no application to the admissions made in accordance with G.O. Ms. No.185, dated 30-6-2004. Accordingly, the learned Judge dismissed the petitions for vacating the interim orders granted earlier and made the interim orders absolute. The learned Judge was pleased to note that the writ petitioners have, prima facie, strong case and will suffer great loss, which cannot be compensated in terms of money, if interim orders are vacated. The same considerations govern the exercise of the equitable jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India even ultimately in the main writ petitions and there is neither any change of circumstances nor any dispute about the continued existence of the same facts. The learned counsel for Deccan College of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad has brought to the notice of this Court that in G.O. Ms. No.150, Health, Medical & Family Welfare (E1) Department, dated 06-05-2005, in fact, these excess admissions necessitated by the writ petitions have been regularized and under the circumstances, nothing further survives to be adjudicated in these writ petitions. Consequently, the writ petitioners shall be entitled to continue to have the benefit of the interim directions granted by this Court earlier and the writ petitions are accordingly closed. No costs. _____________________ G. BHAVANI PRASAD, J Date: 12-7-2006 Svv
