4. Mr. Dhorde, learned counsel for respondent nos.2 and 3 submits that, the petitioner is in default of payment of fees of Rs.8,86,000/- and odd. He had given undertaking that, he would be paying entire fees and he would be responsible for it. The petitioner had even issued cheque for the said amount. The cheque is dishonoured.
5. The fact remains that, validation proceeding of the petitioner is still pending and is not yet decided.
6. The learned A.G.P. submits that, the hearing will have to be conducted afresh and the Committee can decide the proceeding within a period of one month.
7. The petitioner shall appear before the Committee on 28.12.2021. The Committee shall thereafter decide the proceeding preferably within a period of one month from the date of appearance of the petitioner.
8. The respondent-College may not refrain the petitioner from continuing with the internship only on the ground that validity certificate is not submitted and/or the fees is not paid.
9. Depending upon the judgment that may be delivered by the Committee the further steps may be taken by respondents. In case, the claim of the petitioner is invalidated, then certainly respondent nos.2 and 3 may claim for the fees before the petitioner continues with the internship further. The Committee shall intimate and forward the copy of the judgment to respondent nos.2 and 3.
