SRINAGAR, Feb 6: High Court while dismissing the PIL on establishment of para medical institutions said it is sponsored and directed if any permission is granted that shall be in tune with the J&K Para Medical Council Act.
“Suffice it to say that whenever any permission is granted, same shall be strictly abide by the provision of the Act of 2014. We are not inclined to entertain this PIL as not being in the interest of public, as such, dismissed”, Division Bench of Justice Mohammad Yaqoob Mir and Justice Ali Mohammad Magrey said.
According to the counsel for the appellant, respondent-authorities are granting more permissions for establishment of Para Medical Institutions in the State which is to create a situation no conducive to the functioning of these institutions.
His contention before the court was that no further institution should be established because the candidates who have already pursued their course in the already established institutions are jobless.
Court said it is in accordance with the provisions of J&K Para Medical Council Act 2014, Para medical and non Para medical institutions have been established and when legislation is in place, registration has to be granted strictly in accordance with the provision of the Act only then Para-medical and non Para-medical institution can be established.
“The petition though registered as PIL, in essence appears to be a sponsored litigation. If the candidates feel that there are number of trained candidates, it is their choice they may join the institution or they may not. No direction can be issued against the law”, DB said.
