The Executive Committee of the Council noted that a Sub-Committee had been
constituted on 3rd June, 2014 and perused the following report of the Sub-Committee
dated 14.06.2014:-

S.No. Issue Remarks of the Sub-

Committee
1. Recognition of teaching experience of a) These hospitals are not
AFMS hospital faculty – regular teaching
The Armed Forces medical services have hospitals.
represented to Medical Council of India that b) Each hospital needs to be

all the faculty members working in 31
institutions be considered as teaching
faculty even though they are not medical
colleges or postgraduate institutes. The
reason they have requested is that they are
transferred every three years in these
institutions. No faculty can be permanently
be stationed in one Armed Forces Medical
Hospitals. At present some of these
hospitals (5) have been recognized for PG
courses.
2. Recognition of internship training at AFMS
Hospitals –
Earlier some of these hospitals have been
granted recognition of internship training,
which was later removed by the MCI. Now
they are asking for once again recognition
of internship training at AFMS hospitals.
3. Starting of MC(Sports Medicine) course –
The AFMS hospitals have diploma courses
in Sports Medicine. They also have
attached Sports facilities in number of
fields. They have been awarding diploma
in Sports Medicine for many years. Now
they want to start MD (Sports Medicine). In
this regard they have requested that the
diploma holders be considered as teaching
faculty without insisting upon degree as
these people have worked in the
department for more than 15 years and
new course is being started.
4. Conversion of Command Hospitals into
medical colleges –
The AFMS have requested that there
hospitals are located in major towns and
cities. They have a lot of infrastructure
manpower and equipments. In this
connection they have requested that 10 of
their hospitals may be converted to medical
colleges. They have requested the Medical
Council of India to recommend to Govt. of
India the feasibility and also necessary
finances for conversion.
3
assessed by MCI
assessors whether they
can be converted to
medical colleges or
teaching hospitals.
c) The Executive Committee
has to take a decision
whether in an institution
without UG/PG courses
can be considered as
teaching experience.
It has to be brought out from
office records why and when
the recognition status was
cancelled to AFMS hospitals.
Then only further recognition
can be considered.
Issue of granting faculty status
to diploma holders is a policy
decision. The issue has to be
referred to PG Committee.
Also whether while starting a
new course someone with 15
years of experience can be
considered as faculty without a
degree.
a) Nearly 10 medical AFMS
units are located in cities
which can be considered to
convert into medical colleges.
b) The MCI needs to appoint a
Sub-Committee with
Assessors to assess these
locations on the feasibility of
MSR of MCI.
c) Regarding recommendation
to Govt. of India, they are
asking for funding to construct
the colleges from exchequers
money. In this regard, it can
be considered to recommend
provided 50% of the seats to
general public of the local
state in convener quota.
d) These hospitals must be
permitted to allow civilian
population to be treated in
them. Then only good
experience and material will be
available in the institutions.
e) If they are willing for the
above two conditions, after
assessing the MSR, the
Executive Committee has to
take a decision to recommend
to Govt. of India for funding.
 4
On going through the above report in detail, the Executive Committee of the
Council observed the following pointwise:-

1. Regarding recognition of teaching experience of AFMS Hospital faculty, it was

decided that Army hospitals which are affiliated to medical colleges (i.e. AFMC,
Pune; ACMS, Delhi) or where PG courses permitted by MCI are run, can be
recognized as teaching hospitals straightaway. With regard to other hospitals, the
authorities may apply for starting UG/PG courses and upon receipt of such
applications, appropriate decision will be taken after assessing facilities of
teaching faculty & infrastructure.

2. Regarding recognition of internship training at AFMS Hospitals, the Executive

Committee noted that as per the present practice, internship is permitted only in
those hospitals which are attached to medical colleges and institutes running PG
courses.

3. Regarding starting of MD (Sports Medicine) course, the Committee observed that

at present Academic qualifications & teaching experience required for faculty
posts have already been prescribed under T.E.Q. Regulations which being
Statutory Regulations are mandatory & binding in character. In view of this, the
request for relaxation cannot be granted.

4. Regarding conversion of Command Hospitals into medical colleges, the

Committee noted that it is beyond the purview of MCI as it is a regulatory body.
The decision has to be taken jointly by Ministry of Defence. The role of MCI
comes into play only after the applications are made to the Ministry of Health &
family Welfare, Govt. of India.

Note: The Executive Committee of the Council further decided that the matter with
regard to eligibility of Consultants/Specialists as UG teachers where medical
colleges are being opened in association with District Hospital as well as
eligibility of GDMO’s as UG teachers be referred to TEQ Sub-Committee.

5. Clarification submitted by MNR Medical College, Sangareddy regarding Dr.

D. Aruna, Sr. Resident at Malla Reddy Institute of Medical Sciences,
Suraram, Hyderabad.
Read: the matter with regard to clarification submitted by MNR Medical College,
Sangareddy regarding Dr. D. Aruna, Sr. Resident at Malla Reddy Institute of Medical
Sciences, Suraram, Hyderabad.

The Executive Committee of the Council considered the matter at length and
noted the submissions made by the Principal, MNR Medical College, Sangareddy who
appeared personally in the Council Office on 8th July, 2014 :-

“(i) After my retirement from Government service, I joined as Principal at MNR Medical
College in the month of January, 2014 and since then I am discharging my duties as
Principal, MNR Medical College, Sangareddy.

(ii) Previous to me, Dr. Chandrakant Shiroli worked as the Principal for MNR Medical
College. Presently, Dr. Chandrakant Shiroli is working as Dean/Principal of Malla Reddy
Institute of Medical Sciences.

(iii) Due to acute Gastroenteritis I am not keeping well for quite some time.

(iv) On 21-06-2014, a letter dated 18-06-2014 issued from your good office was placed
before me by the office staff, whereunder it was mentioned that an assessment was
carried out by the MCI assessors at Malla Reddy Institute of Medical Sciences, Suraram,
Hyderabad and Dr. D. Aruna has presented herself as Senior Resident in Medicine,
where she produced a photocopy of Experience Certificate, dated 31-07-2008 which
was said to have been issued by the Principal, MNR Medical College to the effect that
Dr. D. Aruna had worked as Junior Resident in the department of General Medicine from
01-08-2005 to 31-07-2008. She also was said to have produced a copy of letter dated
01-08-2008 showing the same experience.
 5

In this regard, I was asked to confirm as to whether Dr. D. Aruna has worked at
MNR Medical College and if so to provide the details of her experience and also to
confirm whether both the Experience Certificates submitted by Dr. D. Aruna was issued
from your office.

(v) Dr. Chandrakant Shiroli (Ex-Principal of MNR Medical College & Presently Principal
of Mallareddy Institute of Medical Sciences, Suraram, Hyderabad came to my office on
21.06.2014 and produced the copies of the said experience letters of Dr. Aruna dated
31-07-2008 and 1-8-2008 and he stated that recently MCI assessment was held at their
college and the assessors questioned the authentication of the experience certificate of
Dr. D. Aruna. Since I am the present Principal he wanted me to clarify and attest the said
certificate. He also enquired as to whether we received any letter from Medical Council
of India regarding the said issue. I informed him that a letter was issued by the MCI and I
instructed the staff for verification of the details from old records. For the Dr.
Chandrakant Shiroli informed me that he was aware of Dr. D. Aruna and he himself
issued those two letters during his tenure as Principal of MNR Medical College and
asked me to endorse on the Experience Letter and there is no necessity for verification
of old records. Since he was the then Principal of MNR Medical College, who issued
those Experience Letters, believing his words, I endorsed on the copy of the experience
letters produced by him. Since I am not keeping well, Dr. Chandrakant Shiroli prepared
the reply to the letter dated 18-06-2014 issued from your good office, confirming the said
experience letters of Dr. D. Aruna which are said to have issued by him only. Since Dr.
Chandrakant Shiroli is the person who issued the Experience Letters of Dr. D. Aruna,
confirmed the issuance of the said letters, believing him, I signed the clarification letter
dated 21-06-2014 to your letter dated 18-06-2014 without verifying the official service
records of Dr. Aruna.

(vi) Thereafter on 22-06-2014, Dr. Chandrakant Shiroli as the Dean/Principal of Malla

Reddy Institute of Medical Sciences, issued a letter, requesting to confirm the above
details as they need to send the same to your good office. Hence I issued a letter dated
23-06-2014 confirming the said details of Dr. D. Aruna as I have already issued the
clarification letter dated 21-06-2014 basing on the confirmation given by Dr.
Chandrakant Shiroli.
(vii) After receiving the letter dated 21-06-2014 by your good office, a letter dated 02-
07-2014 under reference 4th cited was issued from your good office, requesting me to
come personally to the Council office on 4-7-2014 at 11.00 am positively along with
original office records in respect of Dr. D. Aruna, Junior Resident i.e. Appointment letter,
Joining Letter, Bank Salary Statement/Form 16 and the other available relevant
documents.

(viii) In view of my health condition, I was on leave from 3-7-2014 to 7-07-2014, since I
applied for leave for the said period the Incharge Principal communicated a letter dated
3-7-2014 under reference 5th cited, to your good office informing the fact of my non-
availability and thereafter an E-mail dated 4/7/2014 was received from your good office
under reference 6th cited, calling me to come to the Council office personally on 8/7/2014
along with the documents of Dr. D. Aruna.

(ix) After receiving the letter dated 2/7/2014 under reference 4th cited, since I was on
leave, I was informed by my office staff on 3/7/2014 regarding the request for personal
appearances and also production of records of Dr. D. Aruna by your good office.
Immediately I informed the In-charge Principal to inform the fact of my non-availability to
your good office and to verify the original service records during the period 2005-2008
and identify the service particulars of Dr. D. Aruna.

(x) Surprisingly, it came to my notice that Dr. D. Aruna never worked at MNR Medical
College at any point of time particularly from 1/8/2005 to 31/7/2008. On verification of the
entire records, we realized that Dr. D. Aruna never worked at MNR Medical College and
Dr. Chandrakant Shiroli for the reasons best known to him issued Experience Certificate
dated 31/7/2008 and the subsequent letter dated 1/8/2008 as if Dr. D. Aruna worked at
MNR Medical College as Jr. Resident in the department of General Medicine. Dr.
Chandrakant Shiroli without the knowledge of the management of MNR Medical College
seems to have issued those certificates by misusing the letter head folios and rubber
stamp of the college and his position as Principal. He also mislead me and made me to
believe that Dr. D. Aruna worked as Jr. Resident at MNR Medical College during
1/8/2005 to 31/7/2008 and obtained Endorsement on the experience certificate and also
made me to send confirmation to your good office. Since Dr. Chandrakant Shiroli was
the Principal of MNR Medical College before me and in view of my health condition at
 6
that time, innocently believing his words I made the endorsement and correspondence
as if Dr. D. Aruna worked at MNR Medical College previously as Junior Resident without
even verifying the service records.

(xi) in view of the above, I hereby inform you that Dr. D. Aruna did not work as Junior
Resident in the Department of General Medicine at any point of time at MNR Medical
College and the experience certificate dated 31/7/2008 and the subsequent letter dated
1/8/2008 are the fabricated documents issued by Dr. Chandrakant Shiroli.

(xii) the inconvenience caused from my side is only because of believing the words of
Dr. Chandrakant Shiroli innocently. I apologize for issuing letter to you based on Dr.
Chandrakant Shiroli statements and without verifying the records properly.”

In view of the above submission of the Principal, MNR Medical College,

Sangareddy, the Executive Committee of the Council noted that Dr. D. Aruna had not
worked as Junior Resident in the Department of General Medicine at any point of time
at MNR Medical College and the experience certificate dated 31.07.2008 and
subsequent letter dated 1.8.2008 are fabricated documents issued by Dr. Chandrakant
Shiroli (Ex-Principal of MNR Medical College & presently Principal of Mallareddy Instt.
Of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad).

In view of the statement of Dr. B. Srinivasa Rao, the Executive Committee of the
Council decided to refer the matter to the Ethics Committee of the Council for taking
necessary action against the Principal, Dr. B. Srinivasa Rao, MNR Medical College &
Hospital, Sangareddy, the Ex-Principal of MNR Medical College & presently Principal of
Mallareddy Instt. Of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad Dr. Chandrakant Shiroli and Dr. D.
Aruna.

The Executive Committee further decided to recommend to the Central

Government, Ministry of Health & FW for debarring the college from admitting students
for two academic years i.e. 2014-15 and 2015-16 in terms of Section 8(3)(1)(d) of
Establishment of Medical College Regulations, 1999.

Note: The Executive Committee of the Council decided that all the decisions taken by
the Ethics Committee with regard to cancellation of license of erring medical
practitioners should also be published in local newspapers of the State where the
medical practitioner is registered apart from National newspaper.

6. Requests for upgradation of Regional Centre as Nodal Centre.

Read: the matter with regard to requests for upgradation of Regional Centre as
Nodal Centre.

The Executive Committee of the Council noted that the Academic Cell has
received request from Principal, Andhra Medical College, Visakhapatnam for
upgradation of the Regional Centre as a Nodal Centre to conduct the Advance Course
in Medical Education.
The Committee further noted that the Expert Group to prepare Guidelines for
launching Advance Course by Nodal Centres in Medical Education Technology held on
29th January, 2014 had laid down the following minimal requirements and Criteria for
Resource faculty to conduct Advanced Course:
 Each Nodal centre should have at least 5 faculty who fit into one of the
following criteria:
 Degree in medical education
 Diploma in medical education
 FAIMER (Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education
and Research) Fellowship
 Advanced course in medical education (project based longitudinal course)
 Five original or review papers on medical education in indexed peer
reviewed journals
 7
During the initial transitory period of 3 years the deficient requirement of not more
than 20% could be met with by the faculty fulfilling the following criteria:
An education lead who has developed and implemented a national or state level
educational programme
At each contact session of the Nodal Centre, MCI will depute a National
Consultant.
The request submitted by the Principal, Andhra Medical College, Visakhapatnam
was examined on the basis of the above criteria for Resource faculty laid down by MCI.
The comments are as under:
Andhra Medical College, Visakhapatnam
 The Institute is an MCI Regional Centre in MET since February 2013 and has
trained, until May 2014, ~ 130 medical college teachers
 Convener of the Regional Centre, one Resource faculty of the Regional Centre
and one more faculty (not associated with the Regional Centre) have undergone
NTTC JIPMER training in 1995 /1998.
 The RC proposes to seek help of 03 FAIMER fellows in neighbouring colleges to
run the Advance Course, if approved.

In view of above, the Executive Committee of the Council approved the

recommendations of the Chairman, Academic Committee recommending that Andhra
Medical College, Visakhapatnam does not fulfill the prescribed norms and therefore not
recommended.

7. Minutes of the Academic Committee meeting held on 13th May, 2014-

approval of.

Read: the matter with regard to minutes of the Academic Committee meeting
held on 13th May, 2014.

The Executive Committee of the Council approved the minutes of the Academic
Committee meeting held on 13th May, 2014 except item no.13 which is as under:

Item No.13: Letter from Dr. K.S. Sriprakash, Vice-Chancellor, Rajiv Gandhi University
of Health Sciences, Karnataka on the inclusion of the subject considering all E-
Journals and E-Books on par with hard copies of print journals and print books.

The Executive Committee noted that the Regulations are pan India and
broadband availability at high speed for efficient downloads quickly is not available at all
places where medical colleges are located. Even in Metropolitan cities, uninterrupted
internet facility at high speed is not uniformly available. This leads to very slow
downloading speed, particularly in the cases of where multiple multicolour diagrams and
charts. Frequently, the process has to be abandoned. Even the downloaded file is not
complete. Another major hurdle in accepting e Books and eJournals is non availability of
full text versions. It is for these reasons that eBooks and eJournals cannot be a
substitute for print copies although the number of print copies may be reduced. The
Executive Committee decided that the Academic Committee may relook at this item in
view of these observations.

8. Minutes of the Registration & Equivalence Committee meeting held on 24th

June, 2014.

Read: the matter with regard to minutes of the Registration & Equivalence
Committee meeting held on 24th June, 2014.

The Executive Committee of the Council approved the minutes of the

Registration & Equivalence Committee meeting held on 24th June, 2014 except item
no.5 and referred back the same to the REC with the following observations:-
 8
(i) Whether the issue of consideration of Indian qualification at par with
qualifications like FRCS etc. by Saudi Arabian authorities is within purview of
MCI?
(ii) Whether the observations made by the REC Sub-Committee that the Indian
degrees are recognized by GMC are factually correct? If so, what are the
evidences and documents for the same?

9. Regarding Eligibility Certificate of Sh. Ankit Chaturvedi.-legal matter.

Read: the matter with regard to regarding to Eligibility Certificate of Sh. Ankit
Chaturvedi.

The Executive Committee of the Council reconsidered the matter as directed by

the Hon’ble High Court of Allahabad and decided that in view of Graduate Medical
Education Regulations, 1997 which being statutory Regulations are mandatory and
binding in character, it is not permissible to grant Eligibility Certificate to Shri Ankit
Chaturvedi. The Executive Committee further decided to advice the Registration &
Equivalence Committee accordingly to consider all such types of cases as per
prevailing Regulations only.The Executive Committee of the Council noted the following
operative part of the Order of the Hon’ble High Court dated 27.03.2014 in Special
Appeal Defective No. 1288 of 2013 – Ankit Chaturvedi vs. Union of India & two others:-

19. In view of the aforesaid discussion, considering the fact that the appellant is now 27
years old and has completed MBBS course and further in view of the fact that in some
cases the Board of Governors of Medical Council of India has granted exemption to the
applicants for grant of eligibility certificate when they had taken admission at the age of
less than 17 years, we dispose of the Special Appeal with directions to the Board of
Governors of the Medical Council of India, to reconsider the application of the petititoner
appellant for grant of eligibility certificate to allow him to appear in the screening test for
registration as medical practitioner in India.
20. The required consideration will be made by the Board of Governors of the
Medical Council of India, preferably within a period of three months.

The Executive Committee of the Council also took note of the decision of the
erstwhile Board of Governors in supersession of Medical Council of India dated
27.09.2012 whereby the Board had permitted grant of provisional registration on the
basis of Eligibility Certificate issued to them. The decision noted that such certificate
had been issued to these candidates erroneously by the Council and they had not
completed the age of 17 at the time of joining the course.

The Executive Committee noted that the Hon’ble Supreme Court in its judgment
dated 12.09.2013 in Manohar Lal Sharma Vs. MCI & Ors (WP © No. 590 of 2013) has
held as under:

17…. The requirements are statutorily prescribed and, therefore, the Board of Governors
has no power to dilute the statutory requirements in the above mentioned Regulations.

The above observations of the Hon’ble Supreme Court were made in context of
Regulations enacted by the Council with prior approval of the Central Government
under section 33 of the Indian Medical Council Act,1956. The Eligibility Requirement for
taking admission in an Undergraduate Medical Course in a Foreign Medical Institution
Regulations, 2002 has been enacted by the Council under section 33 of the Act.
Clause 8 of the Eligibility Regulations prescribes as under:-

8. The Council shall consider the application for Eligibility Certificate and verify
the following details as per Regulations of the Council –

(i) Whether the candidate fulfills the age criterion prescribed by the Council?

The Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 1997 lays down that the applicant
seeking admission in MBBS course must be 17 years of age on 31st of December in the
year in which he is taking admission. The apex court has also held that MCI
Regulations are that the Medical Council Regulations have a statutory force and are
 9
mandatory. Hence, as the custodian of the Regulations, the Council authorities are duty
bound to implement the provisions of the Regulations and no derogation from the
requirement of Regulations is permissible.

Admittedly, Shri Ankit Chaturvedi at the time of taking admission in Foreign

Medical Institution was not of 17 years of age.

The Executive Committee of the Council after due deliberations and being
conscious of the fact that the applicant has completed MBBS from foreign Medical
Institute in view of the statutory requirements and judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme
Court in Manohar Lal Sharma’s case that does not permit the Council authorities to
relax the requirement of Regulations decided that a regret letter be expeditiously issued
referring to the aforesaid reasons to the applicant.

10. Monitoring on Students entry admitted for MBBS and PG courses in

Medical Colleges/Institutions.

Read: the matter with regard to regarding to monitoring on Students entry

admitted for MBBS and PG courses in Medical Colleges/Institutions.

The Executive Committee of the Council noted that an intranet software was
developed to enter the details about the students admitted for MBBS and PG courses
in various Medical Colleges/Institutions in order to monitor on the various parameters
like excess admission, excess admission under various quota, admission of in-eligible
students etc. But the same could not be monitored properly due to non-receipt of
information from all Colleges/Institutions in a standard format.

The Committee further noted that online facility may be provided to all the
Medical Colleges/Institutions in order to capture the details of the students admitted for
MBBS and PG courses for the year 2014-15 onwards. Separate login-id shall be
provided to each Medical Colleges/Institutions. A cutoff date would be 5th October of
each year for MBBS courses and 5th June of each year in cases of Postgraduate
courses beyond which the Colleges/Institutions will not be allowed to enter the details of
the students into Students Entry System for that academic year. Non receipt of this
information within stipulated time will reflect on the permission of the
Colleges/Institutions.

The Executive Committee of the Council approved the proposal prepared by the
office with the following modification/addition on the entry screen data:

For MBBS course:

“Point no. 7 should be read as “Sex: M/F”

For PG courses:
“Point no. 5 should be read as “Sex: M/F”
Point No. 9 (a) Stipend Paid by the Institute:
(b) Stipend Paid by Govt. Institutes

The Committee further decided that this decision should be communicated to all
medical colleges/institutions by 15.09.2014 by the respective sections and that a
dummy run of the programme may be undertaken for few colleges before complete
implementation.

11. Order dated 20.06.14 in Case No. 1/1032/13-14 – Guru Dayal Kumar Sinha

“Heard learned senior counsel on either side. Considering the facts and
circumstances of the case and also considering the fact that the petitioner is a
meritorious candidate, who has secured 198 out of 200 marks, we are inclined to
follow the procedure adopted by the Court for the last so many years. Reference is
made to the order dated 13.7.2010 passed by this Court in Writ Petition (C) No.471
of 1994 and connected cases.

We, therefore, direct the State of Tamil Nadu to follow the interim order dated 11th
November, 1994 passed by this Court as well as the order dated 13.7.2010 passed
by this Court in Writ Petition (C) No.471 of 1994 and connected cases for the current

Parties will complete their pleadings within a period of six weeks.

List thereafter.”

connected cases and the same has been made applicable for the current year
also (2013-14) by the Hon’ble Supreme Court. As the order is of the Hon’ble
Supreme Court, these are required to be complied with by all concerned
including Medical Council of India. Hence, excess admission so made by the
Govt. of Tamil Nadu needs to be regularized as may have been done in the
previous years.”
