ORDER

Baba Mungipa Education Trust sought to establish a Medical College in Tripura. According to the trust, there was no Medical College in Tripura and the Trust tried to meet a long felt need in that State. It applied to the Central Government for permission to set up the College as required by the Indian Medical Council Act, on 1.11.1994. No action was taken on this application. Aggrieved by the inaction of the Central Government, the trust took various legal proceedings. Ultimately by an order dated 21.7.1995, this Court directed the Central Government to take expeditious steps for proceeding of the application and disposing it of in accordance with law in consultation with the Medical Council of India.

2. From time to time, this Court has given other directions. The Trust was successful in its effort to get a provisional affiliation of the College from the University. It has been stated on behalf of the Trust that they had set up the College and admitted students to the first year class. But after some time, because of the inaction by the University and the Central Government, classes had to be suspended. It is not disputed that no classes have been held for several years now.
