The grievance voiced in this writ petition is that the P.G. M.S. Ophthalmology was permitted by the 7th respondent and the recognition was pending consideration at the time of admission of the petitioners. Although they have successfully completed the course, they apprehend that, in the absence of formal recognition, they may face difficulties after obtaining their certificates. When the matter is taken up for consideration today, the learned counsel for the 3rd respondent submitted that the courses offered by the 4th respondent Medical College have already been recognised. Under such circumstances, the grievance voiced in this writ petition is no longer subsists. Accordingly, the writ petition is closed.
