2) Hostel for House Surgeons

There are now 2 quarters which can accommodate 12 Jr. Residents and there are another 10 quarters for RMOs/Sr. Residents. This accommodation is not sufficient for the required no. of Jr./Sr. Residents at inception.

3) Central Clinical Lab

The Histopathology and Cytopathology work is still going on in the Cancer Detection clinic in a separate building away from Central Lab and Pathology department, though now the teaching faculty of pathology department is also involved in the reporting of histopathology and cytopathology slides. However, this arrangement needs to be shifted to the central lab/department of pathology. The space of central lab continues to be the same.

4) Teaching Hospital

The three storied building is under construction and the construction has been speeded up and it is likely that these additional two new floors are ready by March, 2004. In these two additional floors the following facilities will be provided.

280 indoor beds Clinical department offices and staff room Bed side labs. Seminar-cum-library rooms

5) Extension of academic block building is also in progress and the following facilities

will be located in this building

Burns Beds CT scan Part of Radio-Diagnosis department Central Diagnostic lab. This is likely to be completed by March 2004.

6) OPD block and casualty block is also under construction and is likely to be completed

by Dec. 2003/March 2004. 7) Still in all the clinical departments the space availability is grossly inadequate for

various facilities/requirements to be accommodated. Some of the facilities will be located in the newly coming up academic block (Annexe block) which is likely to be completed by March 2004.

8) Still there is too much overcrowding in all the wards. This will be eased out only when

the additional space is available by March, 2004 9) OPD space in general for various departments and waiting area is grossly inadequate

This will be provided when the new building of OPD and Academic teaching block are ready by March 2004.

In that letter, the following relevant portion of the Constitution Bench judgement of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Islamic Academy of Education dated 14.08.2003 is reproduced as under:-

"…….. So far as the year 2003-04 is concerned, time is running out as the outer time limit

for admission is fast approaching or has gone. To meet the urgent situation without going into the issues involved in the various petitions/applications, we direct that the seats be filled up by the institution and the State Governments in

4the ratio 50 : 50. However, if by any interim order, this Court has permitted any institution to fill up a higher percentage of seats and the seats have been filled up accordingly, the same shall not be disturbed. It is made clear that due to the time constraint this arrangement has been made, without deciding the contentious issue involved in various pending cases……" It is stated that by an office order dated 14.05.2003, the Central Govt. has also approved

the time schedule for completion of the admission process for medical and dental colleges which was placed before the Hon'ble Supreme Court by the Central Govt., whereafter the above-mentioned judgement of the Constitution Bench was passed on 14.08.2003.
