4. We find that the respondents had been aggrieved by an

order dated 11.07.2014 passed by the appellant-Council and therefore, the said order was challenged before the High

Court. The High Court has quashed the said order by virtue

of the impugned order.

5. It has been submitted by the learned counsel

appearing for the appellant-Council that the respondents'

application for grant of permission had been received on

13th June, 2014, which was much after the date provided in

the schedule prescribed in the case of Priya Gupta Vs.

State of Chhattisgarh & Ors. [(2012) 7 SCC 433] and Mridul

Dhar & Anr. Vs. Union of India & Ors. [(2005) 2 SCC 65].

In view of the said fact, by virtue of the order dated

11.07.2014 permission was rejected by the appellant.

6. The learned counsel has submitted that the action

taken by the appellant was consistent with the policy and

regulations framed by the Council and therefore, the said

order ought not to have been quashed.

7. Upon hearing the learned counsel for the respondents

and looking at the provisions of the Medical Council of

India Establishment of Medical College Regulations, 1999,

as well as the judgments referred to hereinabove, in our

opinion it was not proper on the part of the High Court to

quash the just and legal order dated 11.07.2014 passed by

the appellant.

8. The appeal is allowed and the impugned order and the

directions given therein are set aside with no order as to

costs.
