PETITIONER AND 1 The Medical Officer, Central Govt. Unani Dispensary- Goshamahal, Hyderabad & others. Respondents. HON'BLE SMT. JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI & THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE K. C. BHANU WRIT PETITION NO.23675 OF 2005 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Smt. Justice T. Meena Kumari) This writ petition is taken up on the basis of a letter dated 27.10.2005 sent by the petitioner to call for the records from the respondents herein with regard to (i) non-supply of specific medicines, particularly, “Khamire, Abresham/Gaozaban” etc., to the Government Unani Dispensaries for prescribing to the heart patients; (ii) inaction of the dispensary officials to get the supply of the above mentioned medicines and (iii) to post a male doctor preferably Dr. Saleem to the Goshamahal Unani Dispensary for examining the male patients. The petitioner also seeks a direction to the concerned authorities to supply specific medicines to the Government Unani Dispensaries to avoid inconvenience to the poor and elderly heart patients and to post a male doctor for examining male patients in the Goshamahal Dispensary in the interest of justice and to pass such other or further orders. A counter affidavit has been filed by the respondents wherein it is stated that there is no shortage of medicines as alleged by the petitioner and that sufficient stocks of medicines are available in all the Unani Dispensaries in City as well as at Government Unani Dispensary, Aghapura, Hyderabad. It is further stated that in order to meet the medical needs of the patients, additional supplies of medicines will also be made on priority basis on receipt of indents from the Medical Officers of the needy dispensaries. However, with regard to posting of male doctor, particularly, Dr. Saleem for examining the male patients is concerned, learned Government Pleader for Health and Family Welfare states that Dr. Saleem had retired from service and action will be taken to post another Male Medical officer in his place. Petitioner cannot seek a specific direction to post a particular doctor. In view of the assertion of the respondents that they will take necessary action to post another Male Medical Officer in place of Dr. Saleem, no further directions are required to be issued to the respondents. In view of the averments made in the counter affidavit and in view of the submissions made by the learned Government Pleader for Health & Family Welfare, we do not find any reason to entertain the writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. ___________________ T. Meena Kumari,J Date: 16.11.2005 _____________ K.C. Bhanu,J pnb
