IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No. 7847 of 1989 Date of decision : 06.04.2010 Virender Kumar Takyar and others ....Petitioners V/s State of Punjab and another ....Respondents BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: None for the petitioners. Ms. Sudeepti Sharma, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) The petitioner approached this court with a prayer that civil dispensary in Sirhind City may not be closed down. A writ of mandamus was also sought for continuation of the civil dispensary. While issuing notice, this court on 13.06.1989 had directed that dispensary would not be closed. Learned State counsel had pointed out today that prayer made in the present petition has been rendered infructuous as now there is full fledged hospital in Fatehgarh Sahib which looks after the needs of Sirhind City as well. According to counsel, the civil hospital is manned by qualified doctors and is fully equipped to take care of medical needs of residents of the area. In view of the stand taken by learned State counsel before this court, no cause of action survives in this petition. The prayer made therein has been rendered infructuous. The petition is dismissed as such. April 06, 2010 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
