Kulkarni counsel for the petitioner. Mr. T.R. Kankale, Assistant Government Pleader for the R-1 to 7. CORAM : D.D.SINHA AND SMT. VASANTI A. NAIK, JJ. DATE : APRIL 24, 2008. Heard. The grievance of the petitioner in the present petition is in respect of the location of the post-mortem room of Rural Hospital, Bhadravati. The counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the said post-mortem room is adjacent to Shriram Nagar, which is a locality in Bhadravati Town. It is contended that the residents of the Shriram Nagar locality are facing inconvenience in view of the activities which goes on in the post-mortem room, and therefore, made a request to the hospital authorities to relocate the post-mortem room on the other side of the premises of the hospital in order to avoid these problems. Mr. Kankale, the learned Assistant Government Pleader, has submitted that the 2 location of the post-mortem room is consistent with the Maharashtra Hospital Administration Manual Vol. I (Revised) June-1976. It is submitted that the relocation of the post-mortem room will require expenditure of approximately Rupees Five Lacs and since the location of the post-mortem room is consistent with the provisions of the Manual, it is not possible for the hospital authorities to accept the request of the petitioner. The counsel for the petitioner alternatively contended that the petitioner will try to collect the amount of Rupees Five Lacs and if he is successful in collecting the amount of Rupees Five Lacs, liberty be given to him to approach the hospital authorities with the request for relocation of the post-mortem room at a place which will not cause any problem to the residents of the nearby locality. In the backdrop of the above referred facts, we are of the view that the present location of the post-mortem room being consistent with the provisions of the Manual, it is not possible for us to issue any direction in this regard. However, it will be open for the petitioner to approach the authorities if the petitioner is able to collect Rupees Five Lacs for constructing the post- 3 mortem room at another location in the premises of the hospital only. If such request is made and if the hospital authorities are of the view that it would serve the purpose, we expect the authorities to consider the same according to law. With these observations, the writ petition is disposed of. JUDGE JUDGE APTE
