According to the petitioner, it has a 100 bed hospital at a distanceof less than 30 kilometers from the college and once the permission hasalready been granted for running B.Sc (Nursing) course at the sameplace and the hospital is located elsewhere, the first respondent couldnot have taken the same ground for rejecting the case of the petitioner.
However, the learned counsel appearing for the first respondent-University states that unless an exemption is granted by theGovernment, the University cannot consider the application filed by thepetitioner seeking affiliation for M.Sc Nursing Course.
Under those circumstances, the petitioner is directed to file anappropriate application before the third respondent, within a period ofone week from today, and the third respondent shall consider anddispose of the same as per law, within a period of two weeks thereafter.
