Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsels for the respondents.

¶23

On perusal of the affidavit filed in respect of the writ petition and in the counter affidavit, this Court finds that the petitioner's institute was found deficiency in infrastructure and therefore, Homeopathy Council has denied permission to the petitioner's college to admit students for the current academic year 2019-2020.

¶24

The contention of the petitioner is that the defects pointed out during the inspection has been rectified. Before the Hearing Committee, the institute has submitted all the relevant particulars to satisfy them that defects were rectified, however, the Hearing Committee has denied permission to admit students. Hence, seeking for Certiorarified Mandamus to quash the order passed by the 1^st respondent on 14.06.2019.

¶25

In the counter, it has been elaborately stated regarding the power of the Central Council to cause inspection and the power of the 1^st respondent to deny permission to admit students in case of deficiency in infrastructure. Without adverting the other contentious aspects, the learned counsel for the petitioner state across the bar that even now if the 1^st respondent causes inspection, they are ready to substantiate their compliance.

¶26

The learned Standing counsel for the 1^st respondent states that the Council is ready to cause inspection within time stipulated, if ordered by Court.
