JUDGMENT & ORDER(CAV)

Heard Mr. A. Ahmed, learned counsel, appearing on behalf of the petitioner. Also heard Ms. S. Sarma, learned standing counsel, Health Department, appearing on behalf of respondent Nos. 1, 3 & 4; Mr. Debanga K. Baidya, learned standing counsel, National Medical Commission, appearing on behalf of respondent No. 2; and Mr. N. C. Das, learned senior counsel, assisted by Ms. N. Devi, learned counsel, appearing on behalf of respondent No. 5.

2. The petitioner claims to have been admitted pursuant to a Government decision and said to have completed her final MBBS and internship from Assam Medical College, Dibrugarh, by filing this writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, is seeking direction to the respondent to issue her original Final MBBS Pass certificate.

3. The contention of the petitioner is that she was admitted to the Assam Medical College, Dibrugarh, for MBBS course pursuant to the order dated 14.12.2010, issued by the Commissioner to the Government of Assam, Health & Family Welfare Department, she along with 13(thirteen) others, were permitted to continue their studies and complete the course. Accordingly, the petitioner has completed the MBBS course in the year 2011. The petitioner also completed her internship of 1(one) year on 24.01.2012. As the petitioner was not given regular registration by the respondent No. 5, she filed a writ petition before this Court being WP(c)868/2016 and by order dated 18.03.2016, the co-ordinate Bench of this Court directed the respondent authorities to take steps strictly in terms of the order dated 14.12.2010, issued by the respondent No. 1 by allowing the petitioner to get her registration. Accordingly, the petitioner has already been granted final registration pursuant to the order of this Court on 31.03.2016 issued on 01.04.2016, by the Assam Council of Medical Registration, Khanapara, Guwahati. However, the original pass certificate of the petitioner has not yet been issued to her.

4. It is submitted that the petitioner made a representation before the college authority for issuance of her MBBS Degree certificate, however, the same has not yet been granted although the original MBBS Degree certificates of similarly situated persons had already been issued by the University authority.

5. It is submitted that the criminal case registered against the petitioner and others, is still pending at the stage of evidence and out of 42(forty two) PWs, only, 10(ten) PWs has so far been examined. As such, there is no conviction as on date and the trial of the case is likely to take longer time. It is also submitted that the respondent authority themselves have admitted at Para No. 5 of the affidavit filed by the respondent No. 5 that the original Final MBBS Pass certificate were issued to 2(two) other similarly situated candidates, namely, Jutitara Das and Aviral Watsa, therefore, it is submitted that withholding the original Final MBBS Pass certificate in case of the petitioner despite successful completion of the course, and grant of registration is causing prejudice and against the principle of parity.

6. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and upon perusal of the materials available on record, it appears that the petitioner was admitted into the MBBS Course in Assam Medical College, Dibrugarh. Although a criminal case was registered and was under investigation in connection with their admission in MBBS Course, however, the petitioner was subsequently permitted by the Government order dated 14.10.2012, to continue and complete the MBBS Course. The petitioner, thereafter, successfully completed the MBBS Course as well as her internship.

7. It is also not disputed that pursuant to the order dated 18.03.2016, passed by this
