IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1242 of 2008 NAND LAL CHAUDHARY, aged about 65 years, son of late Garib Das Choudhary, resident of Mohalla-and Post Office- bari Khanjarpur, kathalbari, Police Station-Barari, District-Bhagalpur, Pin Code 812001 Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR through the Secretary cum Commissioner, Health Department, Government of Bihar, New Secretariat, Patna.. 2. Deputy Secretary, Health Department, Government of Bihar, New Secretariat, Patna. 3. Executive Director State Health Society, Bihar, Pariwar Kalyan Bhawan, Sheikhpura, Patna. 14. 4. Superintendent, Jawahar Lal Nehru Medical College and Hospital, Bhagalpur. 5. Commissioner, Bhagalpur. 6. District Magistrate, Bhagalpur. ----------- 2. 21.06.2011 No body appears for the State. The grievance of the petitioner is to command the respondents not to make any generic Medical Shop within Jawahar Lal Nehru Medical College and Hospital, Bhagalpur. This Court feels that such prayer is totally unreasonable and against the interest of the public. It goes without saying that when there is a medical College, a medicine shop has to be located within the campus and as near to the actual place of action, that is, either the medical causality or the place where the patients are checked up or treated. Even otherwise, it is for the benefit of the patient and their attendants that where medicine is required it is readily available at the shortest possible distance which is definitely within the campus of the medical hospital itself. In that view of the matter this Court is not inclined to interfere. However, since it is the state which would be settling the medicine shop, this Court expects that the authorities would follow the process as established by law and as required under the Constitution 2 of India so that no discrimination is made in the same. With the above observations this writ application is dismissed. Prakash (Ahsanuddin Amanullah, J.)
