AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No. 14488 OF 2010 ORDER: (per the Hon’ble the Chief Justice Shri Nisar Ahmad Kakru) The reasons upon which decision of the Government is based to de-notify Victoria Maternity Hospital from the list of heritage buildings are detailed in the impugned Government Order itself at para 8, which may be reproduced for facility of reference: “Government, after careful examination of the matter, have decided to reject the said Objections and suggestions and decided to de-notify the “Victoria Maternity Hospital” Building from the list of Heritage Buildings notified in the G.O.Ms.No.102, MA, Municipal Administration and Urban Development Department, Dated: 23.03.1998 on the ground that the said maternity hospital has been already shifted to the new premises at Petlaburj; and the existing building where earlier the hospital was functioning is at present vacant and lying idle in a dilapidated condition without proper upkeep of the area; and there is acute necessity of the accommodation for the High Court. However, the new proposed Building of the High Court should blend with the existing building of the existing High Court Building duly maintaining unique and distinctive features and also the Osmania General Hospital Building opp: River Musi.” The reasons detailed therein, in our opinion, are sufficient to sustain the order of de-notification. In that view of the matter, dismissed along with miscellaneous petition. VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J NISAR AHMAD KAKRU, CJ 28-09-2010 K. Shyleshi
