"11. It appears from the above narrative that the Committee has taken different views at different points of time. Mr Parag Signature Not Verified Digitally Signed CONT.CAS(C) 839/2019 Page 1 of 3 By:RAHUL SINGH Signing Date:26.05.2022 12:15:50 Tripathi, learned Senior Advocate appearing for respondent no.2 also submitted that the petitioner had been consistently changing its case from time to time. He also submitted that there was no negligence on the part of respondent no.2 and no punitive measure was required to be taken against respondent no.2. The petitioner, on the other hand, is also dissatisfied with the quantum of punishment imposed on respondent no.2 and seeks enhancement of the punishment meted out to respondent no.2.
12. Keeping the above facts in mind, this Court is of the view that it is apposite that MCI examine the matter afresh and take an informed view after hearing the petitioner as well as respondent no.2. MCI may also seek an expert opinion, if necessary."
2. It is stated by the learned counsel for the Petitioner that though the order dated 14.02.2019 has been passed by the Medical Council of India in compliance of the order dated 05.09.2019 but the same has been passed without taking into consideration the detailed representation sent by the Petitioner which is evident by the reply sought by the Petitioner under the RTI Act. He states that the Petitioner was not heard properly by the Apex Committee of erstwhile MCI. He states that Respondent Nos.1, 2 and 3, who were the then members of the Apex Committee of erstwhile MCI, were obliged to comply with the order passed by this Court and are guilty of wilfully violating the orders of this Court.
3. It is stated by the learned counsel for the Respondent that the Petitioner was called by the erstwhile Medical Council of India on three occasions but the Petitioner did not participate. He states that National Medical Commission (NMC) is not a party in this petition. He states that there was no direction to the NMC to comply with the orders of this Court.
