At the outset, Administrator welcomed the members of the Executive Committee.

It was informed to the Committee that Dr. K.S. Chugh has been awarded an

honorary Fellowship (FRCP) by the Royal College of Physicians, London for his

eminent work in Nephrology nationally and internationally. He has got the information

only on 23.04.2002. Administrator and all the members congratulated Dr. Chugh for this

honour.

Administrator informed that this meeting is being called as per the orders of the

Hon’ble Supreme Court dated 22.04.2002 and certified copy of the court order was

received in this office only in the evening at about 4.30 p.m. on 23.04.2002. He

apologized for such a short notice. One of the members stated that the meeting of the EC

had already been fixed for 24.04.2002 by the members to which the Administrator was

fully aware and it was informed to the Hon’ble Supreme Court that there is a meeting of

EC on 24.04.2002 in the Council office and the court ordered to go ahead to hold the

meeting on 24.04.2002, but the Administrator stated that he was not aware of these fact.

Administrator asked the members whether we can skip the item Nos. 1 & 2

which pertain to confirmation of minutes of the EC meeting held on 31.1.2002 and

action taken by the office of the Council thereon. Members inquired then why these

2

have been included in the agenda. They also inquired about the agenda papers which

have been given to them today only. The members stated that the Administrator had

fixed a meeting of the EC on 30.4.2002. Even for this meeting the agenda should have

reached to them 10 days before the meeting.

The Administrator informed that these points were included as per format and

practice being followed so far in the formulation of Agenda for such meetings and the

request to postpone the discussion on these items to a later date was only to have more

time to deliberate on pending cases in light of the following directions of the Hon’ble

Supreme Court dated 22.4.2002:-

“We direct that the Executive Committee of the Medical Council of India shall

hold its meeting on 24th April,2002 at 11.00 a.m. sharp and would decide all pending

applications, including applications for approval, recognition, renewal of permission and

letters of intent, etc. for running of the medical colleges.

The General Body of the Medical Council of India is also directed to hold its

meeting on or before 1st of May,2002.”

The members pointed out about the authority for fixing the meeting of the

Executive Committee. According to them as per rules and regulations they are fully

authorised to fix the meeting of the Executive Committee. Administrator stated that in

his opinion, it is the President who can fix the meeting of the Executive Committee. He

pointed out that Regulation 4 and 39 are not applicable to the meetings of the Executive

Committee which are to be governed by Regulation 46. Administrator stated that on this

point a legal opinion can be obtained by the office.

The members pointed out that the recording of minutes of item No. 25 of the EC

meeting held on 31.1.2002 which pertained to establishment of new medical college at

Karakonam, Kerala by C.S.I. South Kerala Medical Mission, Kerala and the note written

under this item regarding the confirmation of availability of beds in the departments of

Obst. & Gynae. and Paediatrics. They stated that at that time it was not mentioned in the

inspection report that beds are available in these departments. Accordingly, a

recommendation was made by the EC not recommending the establishment of the

medical college at Karakonam. They also showed a news paper cutting mentioning

therein a statement of the Administrator that Rs.10 crores were demanded for

recommending this college. They wanted to know the name of the person who told all

these to Administrator. In fact, they wanted that the matter should be investigated by the

3

CBI. Administrator clarified that he received phone calls and he has the mobile number

also, but the members objected to it and stated that without ascertaining the facts the

Administrator should not have given this statement. They also stated that they felt very

much humiliated about this statement of Administrator as they are eminent persons in

their fields. They also objected to another statement of the Administrator that EC

members and some officers of the Council are creating hurdles in removing corruption

from the Council office. They took very serious view to these statements of the

Administrator. They wanted to know the action taken by the Administrator at his own

level before giving this statement to the press without ascertaining the facts. They were

of the opinion that the Administrator should clarify the facts to press. However, it was

informed that the statements of the Administrator are being challenged by some members

in the court.

As regards the statement of Administrator that EC members and some officers of

the Council are creating hurdles in removing corruption from the Council office, they

wanted to know from the Administrator the points on which they had created so called

“hurdles”.

Dr. K.S. Chugh, a member of the Executive Committee pointed out that when the

meeting of the Executive Committee was fixed by the Members for 24th April, 2002 why

the agenda papers were not sent to them? Leave aside, agenda being sent for 24th

meeting, even for the notice given for the meeting to be held on 30th April, 2002 on the

direction of the Administrator, the agenda papers should have been dispatched to the

members of the Executive Committee latest by 20th April.

The members informed that the action of the office for handing over the agenda

papers to them on the day of the meeting on table i.e. 24th April is regretful.

The Members of the Executive Committee expressed their anguish on the

treatment meted to them on the day of the Executive Committee meeting on 4th March,

2002. Before the meeting, the members of the Executive Committee conveyed to the

Administrator that they would like to meet him and remove any misunderstandings in the

interest of smooth functioning of the Council. While standing outside the office of the

Administrator, they were informed by a Peon that the Administrator would not like to

meet them. Following this, the Executive Committee had its meeting under the

Chairmanship of the Vice President, Dr. Kesavankutty Nair. In that meeting the

members of the Executive Committee were denied of even secretarial assistance and

4

therefore they had to write the minutes in long hand which were submitted after

signatures, to Dr. Sachdeva, the Secretary of the MCI.

Administrator clarified that no disrespect was intended and he had requested the

Vice-President to meet him which he refused as all the members wanted to meet the

Administrator together. The Administrator said that he had a bitter experience of their

meeting on 18.2.2002 and declaring their tape recording/listening session as Executive

Committee meeting.

The members of the Executive Committee had read a press statement which had

appeared in one of the newspapers Indian Express dated 28th of March. It had been stated

there that some members of the MCI had demanded Rs. 10 crores for clearance of CSI

Hospital, Karakonam. The members requested the President to let them know who in

the Executive Committee or in the Council Office were involved in this demand and

whether the President / Administrator had conducted any enquiry in this regard before

making a press statement. The President informed that he had not done so. The members

requested him to kindly go into the details of this matter and inform the same in the next

meeting of the Executive Committee.

It was also mentioned in the press statement that “for every decision taken by the

Administrator to remove corruption in the office of the MCI, hurdles are created

deliberately at each end and every step by the members of the Executive Committee and

some officers of MCI.” The members requested the Administrator to inform the

Committee as to who were the members who were creating hurdles and the justification

of the statement thereof.

Administrator informed that he has filed an IA before the Hon’ble Supreme

Court.

Right at the outset, the Administrator wanted to delete item No. 1 & 2 from the

agenda for discussions. The members did not agree and requested the President/

Administrator that the items listed in the agenda should be discussed.

In the meeting of 18th February, the minutes of the meeting held on 31st January,

2002 sent by the Administrator were not approved. Several objections were raised by

various members during the proceeding of the meeting held on February 18. The

members unanimously felt that the decisions taken by the Executive Committee

unanimously should be implemented if not already done.

5

The minutes of the meeting held on 4th March, 2002 are taken to be already

confirmed since they were signed by all the members of the Executive Committee who

attended that meeting and minutes were submitted to the Secretary, MCI on the same day.

It was pointed out that action on some of the items had already been taken by the

Government based on the resolutions passed by the Executive Committee on February,

18 and March 4, 2002.

The Administrator informed that the meetings held by members of the Executive

Committee on 18th February 02 and 4th March, 02 were declared ‘illegal’ and the

Central Government has also been requested not to take any cognizance and take any

action on the decisions arrived at. With respect to the decisions taken by the Central

Government, communication to the Central Government protesting against decision in

most cases have already been sent. As regards the discourtesy shown to the members on

4th March, 02, the Administrator offered an apology for the discourtesy as stated neither

were known to him nor the discourtesy was intended. As the meetings on both the

occasions i.e. 18th February and 4th March were not called nor any notice/agenda was

circulated by the Administrator he did not take any note of the assembly of the members

of the Executive Committee and declared both the meetings illegal.

Members unanimously objected to the statement of the Administrator that the

meetings held on 18th February and 4th March were illegal. The meetings were held as

per the rules and regulations of the Council. The information for holding these meetings

was given to the MCI. The meeting of 18th February was fixed in the meeting of 31st

January and for 4th March on 18th February meeting and both the meetings were valid, as

per MCI Rules & Regulations.

The Executive Committee members informed the Administrator that the meeting

being held today i.e. 24th April, 2002 was also proposed by the members of the Executive

Committee which was approved by the Hon’ble Court during arguments. The decision

sent to the Administrator for fixing the meeting on 24th April,2002 as proposed by the

Executive Committee disapproving the meeting of the Executive Committee fixed by the

Administrator for the 30th April,2002. On the other hand, the Court directed the MCI to

hold General Body of the Council on or before Ist May.

The members of the Executive Committee in several communications to the

Secretary, MCI had pointed out that many cases, which were being delayed and were

being sent for individual opinions by circulation and were required to be discussed during

6

the meetings of the Executive Committee. Yet no meeting had been fixed after 31st

January, 2002 by the Administrator except 30th of April, 2002.

The Administrator informed that he is not aware of any other decision taken by

the Hon’ble Supreme Court except the order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court dated

22.4.2002, of which a certified true copy is available according to which the meeting of

the Executive Committee is to be held on 24.4.2002 to decide all pending applications,

including applications for approval, recognition, renewal of permission and letters of

the decisions taken by the General Body of the Council in its meeting held on 21st and

22nd June,2001 is pending before the Hon’ble Supreme Court where, on the

recommendations of the Council, the Central Govt. had taken decisions in relation to

certain colleges. The Hon’ble Uttranchal High Court had passed an order for reversing

this position when it has been advised that the Hon’ble Uttranchal High Court had no

territorial jurisdiction to pass any order against the Central Government or the MCI in

7

such matters. Mr.Harish Salve, Learned Solicitor General of India is appearing for the

Central Govt. in those appeals against the orders of the Hon’ble Uttranchal High Court

and Mr. Mukul Rohtagi, Learned Additional Solicitor General of India has been

by the EC today, the inspectors were not appointed by the EC according to rules and

regulations. However, since a delay had already taken place in taking decisions with

regard to various colleges, urgent recommendations have become necessary and also in

deference to the orders of the Hon’ble Supreme Court dated 22.4.2002, the EC agreed to

consider these inspection reports with the condition that the recommendations so given

by the EC in each case on the presumption that the office will forward these

recommendations of the EC to the Central Govt. after obtaining the opinion in this regard

from the Ld. Solicitor General of India or Ld. Additional Solicitor General of India for a

legal opinion. The opinion so obtained should be communicated to the EC meeting

which will be held on 30th April,2002 at 10.00 a.m. In order to avoid controversy in this

regard in future and to carry out the inspection in accordance with the rules and

regulations of MCI which require the constitution of inspections team should be done by

the EC.

The Administrator did not agree with the members that the members of the

Council can be detailed as Inspectors. He further stated that to project a clean image of

the MCI, the members should not be detailed as Inspectors and the restriction imposed by

him should continue.

Sciences & Research, Sri Amritsar for the award of MBBS degree granted by Baba Farid Uniersity of Helath Siences, Faridkot.

Read : The compliance report received through the Central Govt. vide its letter dated 8/4/2002 on rectification of the deficiencies pointed out in the inspection report (Dec., 2001) for renewal of permission for admission of 6th batch/approval of Sri Guru Ram Das Instt. of Medical Sciences & Research, Sri Amritsar for the award of MBBS degree granted by Baba Farid University of Health Sciences, Faridkot.

However, as the institution has changed the original project report as far as hospital is concerned i.e. they would like to continue with the existing 400 bedded hospital and the hospital of 993 beds capacity which was being built up is envisaged

11

only for future expansion, it was decided that acceptance of change of the project report at this stage cannot be considered by the Medical Council of India. However Central Govt. may take a decision in this regard i.e. regarding recognition. 5. (I) Approval of Acharya Shri Chander College of Medical Sciences &

In light of the above facts, the Executive Committee decided to permit these migrations as a one time measure and not to be quoted as a precedence. The Committee further decided to write a letter to the Director, PGIMS, Rohtak and the Vice-Chancellor, Maharishi Dayanand University to draw their attention to the regulations prescribed for migration by the Council and to strictly adhere to these regulations.
