Archbishop of Calcutta Henry D'Souza, in a television interview last weekend, mentioned how the girl, whose bones were battered in a car accident, was cured after she was given a medal by Mother Teresa.

Ever since, the Missionaries of Charity headquarters here have been receiving lots of queries about the case.

If it is proved that the cure was ``organic'', the Saint of the Sewers, Mother Teresa, may well attain sainthood.

D'souza said the `miracle' had not yet been confirmed, but told The Indian Express that the documents relating to the case had been sent to experts for examination.

According to him, the French girl had met with the accident in the United States of America, but could not recollect the girl's name or the place of the accident. The Missionaries headquarters received a letterabout three months back, in which the case was mentioned.

According to the letter, the French girl had met Mother Teresa, who gave her one of the Jesus-embossed aluminium medals she used to bless visitors with. After the accident, the French girl was miraculously healed with the touch of the medal, claimed the letter.

But Sister Christie of the Missionaries, however, said that the case was not considered ``an organic miracle'' because it involved a ``gradual cure''.

In an interview with The Indian Express on August 17, Sister Nirmala, Mother Teresa's successor at the Missionaries, made no mention of the case.

She had, however, said that she was receiving letters from various parts of the world containing claims of Mother Teresa's `miracles'. Some of these were documented and sent to the Vatican for scrutiny.

Sister Nirmala had said that ``not all kinds of miracles'' were acceptable for canonisation. According to her, ``It had to be an organic miracle.''
