JUDGMENT Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav, J. (Oral)--The petitioner-college in the instant petition seeks to challenge the order dated 08.12.2022, passed by respondent No.3, whereby the petitioner-college has been denied the permission to undertake admission in the Undergraduate Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery Course (hereinafter referred to as the ('BHMS Course') with an intake capacity of 50 seats for the academic year 2022-2023. 2. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of petitioner-college at the outset, submits that the impugned decision has been taken by respondent No.3 without providing them a copy of the inspection report. 3. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondents does not dispute the aforesaid position and they state that taking into consideration the nature of deficiencies existing in the petitioner-college, the same does not deserve any recognition. 4. Having considered the submissions made by learned counsel appearing on behalf of the parties, and having perused the pleadings, it is noted that the petitioner-college has not been furnished with the copy of the inspection report.
