ORDER

Leave granted.

2. We have heard learned counsel for the appellant - Medical Council of India as well as learned counsel for the first respondent. The second respondent has been avoiding service of notice and, therefore, we had passed an order on January 8, 1996 that the notice must be deemed to have been served on him. The only question is : whether the second respondent is entitled to practice as registered medical practitioner ? Admittedly, the second respondent has done his M.Sc. (Medical Bio-Chemistry). He joined as Demonstrator and thereafter became Professor in the Department of Bio-Chemistry. He, on 31.7.1973, sought to have his name registered with the State Medical Register. When he was not allowed to practise Medicine on the basis of the above qualifications, he filed a writ petition in the High Court. The learned single Judge in Civil W.P. No. 1169/81 by an order dated February 3, 1992 allowed the writ petition and directed the appellant to enroll him as Medical Practitioner on the State Medical Register. An appeal filed against the said order in Special Appeal No. 179/1995 was dismissed vide order dated February 15, 1995 by the Division Bench of the High Court. Th
