The court directed timely consideration of a complaint regarding unauthorized medical establishments, emphasizing the importance of a fair hearing.

JUDGMENT

The petitioner alleges that the first respondent who is medical Doctor is intending to open an alleged medical shop in his residence, pursuant to a tie up with the 2^nd respondent. Pointing out the above, a complaint has been filed before the 4^th respondent. According to the learned counsel for the petitioner, despite the said complaint, the 4^th respondent is not taking any action. Hence, he has approached this Court seeking a direction to consider his complaint which is produced as Ext.P4.

2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the respective Standing Counsel for respondents 3 and 4. Considering the nature of order that I propose to issue, this Court is of the view that notice to respondents 1 and 2 can be dispensed with.

Since the complaint filed by the petitioner as Ext.P4 was received by the 4^th respondent, there will be a direction to the said respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on the said complaint, as expeditiously as possible, in a time bound manner, at any rate, within an outer period of seven months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after granting an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner as well as to the first respondent.

The writ petition is disposed of as above.
