1. In each of the writ petitions the subject matter of challenge is an order dated 1 October, 2014 passed by the Executive Committee of the Medical Council of India approving the recommendation of the Ethics Committee taken in its meetings dated 17 and 18 July, 2014. The recommendation of the Ethics Committee was to remove the name of Dr. Tapan Mukherjee (writ petitioner in WP 4202 (W) of 2015) for three years from the Indian Medical Register; to remove the name of Dr. Joydip Basu (writ petitioner in WP 4204 (W) of 2015) for a period of two years from the Indian Medical Register; and to remove the name of Dr. Kamal Kumar Das (writ petitioner in WP 4205 (W) of 2015) for a period of five years from the Indian Medical Register. Similar questions of fact and law are involved in all the three writ petitions and accordingly the three writ petitions have been taken up together for hearing and disposal. Arguments have been advanced with reference to the records of WP No. 4202 (W) of 2015 and I will proceed on that basis.

2. The undisputed facts of the case are that Soma Saha Roy, since deceased, wife of the respondent no. 6 was admitted to Uma Medical Related In
