6. Mr. T. Singhdev, learned counsel appearing for the respondent no. 3/NMC draws attention of this Court to the fact that the Regulations of Graduate Medical Education, 1997 (hereinafter referred to as "the GME Regulations") were framed in exercise of the powers conferred by Section 33 of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956. As per the curriculum, the incumbents in the MBBS course have to undergo a necessary stipulated clinical training period during their course. Regulations 7 and 8 thereof deal with phases, phase distribution and timing of examinations and are reproduced hereunder:-

7. According to Mr. T. Singhdev, as of now, there is no outer limit for completion of the MBBS Course, in a particular time. That apart, while referring to page 13 of the impugned judgement which is page 75 of the present paperbook, wherein the entire timeline of the training attended by the appellants is provided, he submits that the present case is a case of truncation of training completion certificate issued to the appellants by their respective colleges as it is actually the admitted case of the appellants that out of the stipulated eighty-four (84) weeks of training, appellants had only attended seventy-three (73) weeks of clinical training. He therefore argues that the reasoning and the directions given in the impugned judgement should not be interfered with since the learned Single Judge was very considerate in allowing those certificates and yet, had maintained the grievance of the appellants while allowing them to sit and also by giving specific direction for completion of the requisite and stipulated training period for the MBBS course as envisaged under the GME Regulations. He submits that the appeal ought to be therefore, dismissed.
