8 That the respondetn no.5 is taking wrongly the shelter of the judgement
passed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in its order dated 03.07.2018 in
Writ Petition (Civil) No. 89 of 2018. The relevant Para No. 7 & 16 of the
Judgement a reproduced bellow:

7. Shri Mukul Rohtagi. learned senior counsel for the

petitioner, however contended that the State does not have

the power to withdraw the Essentiality Certificate once

granted. According to the learned senior counsel, the

Essentiality Certificate is issued for the specilic purpose of

certifying the need for opening a new medical college in a
5

State. Once such a need is certified and the college is

established, there is no power conferred by the lMC Act or

the Regulations to withdraw such a certificate except on the
ground of fraud.
XXX XXX XXX XXX

16. It would be impermissible to allow any authority including

a State Government which merely issues an Essentiality

Certificate, to exercise any power which could have the

effect of terminating the existence of a Medical College
permitted to be established by the Central Government. This
the State Government may not do either directly or indirectly.

Moreover, the purpose of the Essentiality Certificate is

limited to certifying to the Central Government that it is
essential to establish a Medical College. It does not go
beyond this. In other words, once the State Government has
certified that the establishment of a Medical College is
justified, it cannot at a later stage say that there was no
justification for the establishment of the College. Surely, a
person who establishes a Medical College upon an
assurance of a State GOvernment that such establishment is
justified cannot be told at a later stage that there was no
justification
for allowing him to do so. Moreover, it
appears
that the power to issue an Essentiality Certificate is a
power
that must be treated as exhausted once it is
exercised,
except of course in cases of fraud. The rules of equity and
fairness and promissory estoppels do not permit this Court to
take a contrary view.
33.In view of the above, we find that the condition no 11 is

ultravires the previsions of the IMC act and regulations. In

the result, the order dated i.11.2017, issued by
Respondent
no.1- state of Punjab, withdrawing the Essentiality
Certificate
6

is quashed and set aside and condition no.(7&11) are

declared illegal.
XXX XXX XXX XXX

34. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is allowed.

35. We may not be understood to be laying down tlhat under

no circumstances can an Essentiality Certificate be

withdrawn. The state government would be entitled to

withdraw such certificate where it is obtained by playing

fraud on it or any circumstances where the very substratum

on which the Essentiality certificate was granted disappears

or any other reason of like nature.

The Hon'ble lordship were pleased to state that the State Government

would be entitled to withdraw such Essentiality Certificate where it is

obtained by fraud on it and circumstances where the very substratum on
which the Essentiality Certificate was granted,disappears or any other
reason of like nature. Thus in view of the judgement, the State
GovernmentVanswering respondent is competent to withdraw such
Essentiality Certificate on account of submission of report to National

Medical Commission as there are gross violations and serious

irregularities as well as total faliure to provide infrastructure as per norms,

and conditions stipulated in Essentiality Certificate since from date of

running of college.
9. That college js doing injustice and fraud with students/parents as college
is deficient in medical faculty to the tune of 86% and deficiency in resident

doctors is 96%. There is no OPD or IPD in the hospital. Bed occupancy is

nil. The college management is playing fraud with the students as well as
with the society. The management has failed in each and every inspection
done by the state govt. since 2011 onwards. This college was given
permission to admission fot MBBS students in 2011,2014 &2016 batch
only. It was denied in the year 2013,2015 and 2017. The college was
closed in year 2017 and Essentiality Certificate was withdrawn and
7

student were shifted to recognised medical colleges of the state. Bank

guarantee of 9.5 crore was forfeited and encashed by Govt. of India and
was transferred to Govt. of Puniab. It is important to mention here that the

respondent no. 5 college has not questioned/raised any finger about the
forfeiture/encashment of bank gurantee of Rs. 9.5 Crore,which amounts to
admissiTn of the respondent college for failure to adhere to the statutory
permission of Act, regulations and norms of Medical Council of India now
called National Medical commission.

10. That it is settled by Hon:;ble Supreme Court in a judgement titled as "VN

Public Health and Educational Trust etc VS State of Kerela and Ors"

reported in 2021 AIR(Supreme Court) 2673 where it has been held that
grant of Essentialty Certificate by State Government &consent ot afilation
by University is not simply ministrial act. These are cruisial for avoiding
cases where colleges despite grant of intial permission could not provide
infrastructure, teaching and other facilties as resert whereoff students who

had already been admitted sufferred serious prejudice.

It has been held in para no. 23 of judgment that the law there stand settled
that the State Government has the power to withdraw Essentialty
Certificate where it is obtained by playing fraud on it or where the very
substratum in which Essentialty Certificate was granted vanishes or any
other reason of like nature. Even the Hon;ble Supreme Cout is held that
allowing deficient college to continue to function jeopardizes the future of
student community and leading to incompitent doctors to graduate from
such colleges and ultimatelty poses a bigger risk to the society at large
defeting the very purpose of Essentialty Certificate issued by the State.
The Hon'ble court has held that the State would be defering from its duty
if it did rnot conduct an inspection from time to time to insure that the
requisite standards as set by the Medical Council Of India are met before
issuing/renewinf the Essentialty Certificate.
Applying the retio of the judgement, in the Essentialty Certificate issued
deserves to be withdrawn, as the respondent no. 5 college is playing with
the future and carrier of the students.

11. That regarding the prayer of the petitioners for shifting to other recognised
Medical Colleges it is submitted that the students can only be shifted with

the approval of Respondent no.1 &2 and Respondent no.1 &2 are party
in the present writ petition, as it is the prerogative of the respondent no. 1

& 2only to take decsion in this regard to give permission for creating
supernumery seats so that the students could be shifted to other
recognised Medical Colleges of the State.
12. That in view of above it is submitted that a detailed report citing history of
this institution and its inability to remove the deficiencies despite repeated
reminders is under active consideration which will be sent to National
Medical Commission to take final call in this matter. It is for the National

Medical Commission to take decsion on the ame. Any direction issued by

the National Medical Commission will be followed/implemented.

13. That at this stage the short reply is being filed but answering respondent
undertakes to file a para wise reply if need arises or ordered by this
Hon'ble Court.

In view of the above it is respectfully prayed that the present petition may
be disposed of in the light of averment made above qua the respondents no. 3 &4.
