The permission for 100 admission was issued by the Central govt. on 19th May, 1998, stated to be with prospective effect. However, in the meanwhile the Council had received a copy of the order dt. 3/2/98 passed by the Hon'ble Andhra Pradesh High Court in Writ Petition No. 1413/98 filed by the College. The University of Health Sciences, Vijayawada, Govt. of Andhra Pradesh and the Central govt. through Ministry of Health & F.W. are the respondents in this Writ Petition. Medical Council of India is not a party to this writ petition. By this order dt. 3/2/98 the Hon'ble High Court had issued interim directions to the University of Health Sciences, Vijayawada to allot candidates to the petitioner's institution in the first MBBS course in accordance with the rules pending affiliation by first respondent Univ. without insisting on the permission of the Govt. of India. The Council had taken a legal opinion after receiving the copy of the order dt The Council was advised that since the Central govt. had not challenged the order dt. 3/2/98, the Council would be rquired to carry out the inspection for verification of achievements of the annual target in accordance with the statutory scheme. The copy of the above mentioned order dt. 3/2/98 was forwarded to the Central Govt. on 6/2/98 and the copy of the legal opinion obtained by the Council was forwarded to the Central Govt. by a letter dt. 3/9/98.

It is thus clear that the 100 admissions in the MBBS course by this college have been completed by June, 1998 and these admissions have to be treated as 100 admissions for the academic session as every academic session starts generally by August of every year. In view of this admitted fact that the process of 100 admissions was completed by the end of June, 1998 the college if not stopped from admittting 100 students again this year shall amount to admission of 200 students who would get admission and degree finally at the end of their MBBS course.
