JUDGMENT : Shekher Dhawan, J. 1. The present writ petition has been filed under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India for issuance of writ of certiorari for quashing the impugned amendment/addition dated 1.10.2012 (Annexure P-5) in the Regulations (Annexure P-3) whereby permission was granted only to the State Governments for establishment of new medical colleges on two pieces of land comprising minimum of 20 acres of land. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the Central Government subsequently granted permission for establishment of medical college on two pieces of land comprising minimum 20 acres of land for the States/Union Territories for the States of Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Orisa, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. In some of the States this concession has been given to private institutes as well. Despite that the petitioner has been discriminated because the petitioner is also having more than 20 acres of land in two chunks within a distance of 7.5 Kms. Representation Annexure P-8 was made to the Medical Council of India for grant of necessary permission but no action has been taken. 3. In view of the above, the present petition is disposed of with the liberty to the petitioner to submit a detailed representation before the competent authority within a week and the competent authority is directed to decide the same within two weeks from the date of receipt of the same.
