7. Mr T. Singhdev, learned counsel appearing for the MCI countered the submissions made on behalf of the petitioner. He handed over a copy of the diploma submitted by the petitioner at the time of seeking provisional registration with the MCI. He submitted that the MCI had sent a copy of the said diploma for verification to the concerned institution (TVER State Medical Academy) through Indian Embassy at Moscow and after much follow up, TVER State Medical Academy had informed the MCI that only one diploma certificate bearing No. 0004065 had been issued in the name of one Ajit Kumar. Plainly, that was not the diploma submitted by the petitioner.

8. He also handed over a copy of the notice dated 15.06.2007 issued to the petitioner seeking his explanation in this regard. He pointed out that the petitioner had responded to the show cause notice by a letter dated 20.09.2007 stating that "he had been harassed by Education Mafia, and the Dean and the faculty members who continuously demanded money from the petitioner" and requesting that his case be considered sympathetically. Mr Singhdev pointed that even in this response to the notice dated 15.06.2002, the petitioner did not claim that he had studied at Moscow State University of Medicine and Dentistry.
