 WP(C) NO. 1227 OF 2009              3

                 --------------------------------------------
                      W.P.(C.) No.1227 of 2009
                    --------------------------------------
             Dated this the 7th day of September, 2021


                               JUDGMENT

The above writ petition is filed with following prayers :

"i) a writ of certiorari and quash the original of Exhibit P- 10.

ii) a writ of mandamus and direct the 1st respondents to consider the representations submitted by petitioners 2 to 7 afresh for getting exemption from prescribed educational qualification to practice Ayurvedha under sec. 38 of the T.C.M.P. Act in accordance with law after hearing the petitioners.

iii) Direct the 2nd respondent to issue or renew L-3 license to the petitioners 2 to 7 to prepare Ayurvedic medicines.

iv) Direct the respondents 3 and 4 not harass the petitioners so as to interfere with their practice in Ayurveda.

v) direct the 1st respondent to consider and disposed of Exbt. P-11 in accordance with law after hearing the petitioner.

vi) issue such other writ or directions which this honorouble court deems fit to the circumstances of the case."

2. Ext.P10 order is impugned in this writ petition. This

writ petition came up for consideration on 13.1.2009 and the

writ petition was admitted and notice issued. Thereafter, there

is no posting. At this distance of time, I think no orders can be

passed in this writ petition. If there is any surviving grievance,

the petitioner is free to approach the 1 st respondent with a

representation. If such a representation is received, the 1st

respondent will consider the same and pass appropriate orders,

in accordance to law.

With the above observation, this writ petition is closed.
