1. Since the Medical Board after having assessed the current condition of the minor petitioner has concluded that he is not a fit candidate for Cochlear Implant as per the existing national and international guidelines, this Court is of the view that prayer (c) of the present writ petition has become infructuous. Accordingly, respondent no.3-AIIMS is discharged from the present proceedings.

Learned counsel for the petitioner states that as the Cochlear Implant exercise was not carried out expeditiously, the petitioner has become disabled for life. Consequently, according to him, prayers (a) and (b) of the present writ petition have assumed greater importance.
3. Learned counsel for respondent no.2-GNCTD prays for some time to obtain instructions with regard to prayers (a) and (b) of the present writ petition.
4. In the interest of justice, re-notify on 04th September, 2023.
5. Learned counsel for the petitioner as well as respondent no.2-GNCTD shall file their written submission not exceeding three pages each along with the judgments that they wish to rely upon, at least a week prior to the next date of hearing.
