D.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION No. 3709/2004 Madan Singh v. State of Rajasthan & ors. Date of order : 18.07.2006 HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI S.N.JHA HON'BLE SHRI JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Shri M.A.Siddiqui for the petitioner Shri N.M.Lodha, Addl. Advocate General This writ petition was filed as a public interest litigation making grievance of the unhygienic conditions in the Umaid Hospital, Jodhpur particularly around canteen situated in is premises. A specific prayer was made to shift the canteen elsewhere. From the record it appears that a number of directions were issued by this Court from time to time most of which have been substantially complied with. Counsel made a specific grievance of the free entry in the hospital premises. He stated that this Court had issued direction to regulate entry on the basis of entry-pass which has not been done. Counsel also referred to over-crowding in the hospital and absence of police force. Further, reference was made to some report of the Pollution Control Board about pollution related deficiencies. We do not wish to undermine the need of proper management of Hospitals, at the same time we are of the view that this Court cannot monitor the functioning of hospitals which are so many. That is the job of the government and its functionaries. We accordingly - 2 - instead of keeping the writ petition pending dispose of the same with a direction to the respondents to look into the grievances, particularly those referred to above, and take effective measures so that the hospital runs in an efficient manner and is able to cater to the need of the patient public. With these observations and direction the writ petition stands disposed of. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ),J. (S.N.JHA), C.J mathur/
