19. 06.04.2011 As per direction of this Court, the Principal

Secretary, Department of Health, Family Welfare

and Medical Education, Government of Bihar, Patna

is present.

Supplementary Show-cause has been filed

to appraise the steps taken by the Health

Department in order to comply the direction of this

Court. However, it has been stated that earnest

efforts are being made in order to create Super

Specialty Department, as per the MCI Regulations

and 2008 Rules. In sum and substance, it is the

stand of the Opposite Party, Department of Health

that in order to create Super Specialty Departments,

at least six months more time is required.

Mr. Ashok Kumar Singh, Counsel, appearing

for the petitioner has submitted that for creation of
2

Super Specialty Departments, infrastructure is there,

but what is lacking is the will on the part of the

State.

For creation of Super Specialty Department,

what is required is the will and the time for it, in

view of the statement made in the Supplementary

Show-cause. It seems that the Government is willing

to create Super Specialty Department, but what is

essential that some time should be allowed to them.

Considering all these facts, let this matter be

put up for Admission on 12th of October, 2011,

retaining its position.

Supplementary Show-cause must be filed,

showing full compliance of the direction in the Writ

Application.

Personal appearance of the Principal

Secretary, Department of Health, Family Welfare

and Medical Education, Government of Bihar.
