At the outset, it is required to be noted that so far as the proposed Medical Colleges at Purnia, Samastipur and Chapra is concerned, a detailed order has been passed earlier in which it is observed that due to lack of infrastructure facilities and other facilities it is not possible even by the M.C.I. to grant recognition to the new Medical Colleges at Purnia, Samastipur and Chapra. Now so far as the proposed Medical College at Madhepura is concerned, it appears that the application for recognition/affiliation has been made to the Medical Council of India within the prescribed time. The Medical Council of India is required to process the application within a time frame as mentioned in the counter which reads as under:- S. No. Stage of Processing Last Date 1.
