The Madras High Court, in Writ Petition No. 37687 of 2026, heard Dr. Prasannakumar R, an employee of Integral Coach Factory, who sought a writ of certiorari and mandamus directing the General Manager of ICF to grant study leave for a Doctorate in Medicine (DM) in Critical Care Medicine for the academic year 2026‑29, as per a provisional admission letter from the Medical Counselling Committee, DGHS, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. The Assistant Solicitor General, Mr. AR L Sundaresan, raised an objection on maintainability, relying on the Supreme Court decision in L. Chandra Kumar vs. Union of India (1997). In response, counsel for the petitioner requested permission to withdraw the writ and approach the Central Administrative Tribunal, Chennai. The Court recorded the submission, dismissed the writ petition as withdrawn, granted liberty to approach the CAT, ordered no costs, and closed the connected miscellaneous petitions.
