IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition PIL No. 406 of 2008 Mahendra Singh & others. ..……… Petitioners Versus State of Uttarakhand & another. ..………. Respondents. Mr. Mukul Singh Dangi, Advocate holding brief of Mr. V.S. Pal, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. B.K. Gupta, Addl. Advocate General for the respondents. JUDGMENT Coram: Hon’ble J.S. Khehar, C.J. Hon’ble Sudhanshu Dhulia, J. J.S. KHEHAR, C. J. (Oral) The prayer made in the instant writ petition is for a direction to the respondents to construct a Government Allopathic Hospital in village Raipur, Tehsil Gadarpur, in district Udham Singh Nagar. The case of the petitioners is, that some land has already been gifted by the petitioner himself, whereas another resident of the village is also willing to gift further land for the purpose. 2. As against the claim made by the petitioners, it is the assertion of the learned counsel for the respondents, that a Government Allopathic Hospital has already been constructed at village Basantipur-Anandkhera in Tehsil Gadarpur, district Udham Singh Nagar, which is merely 2 ½ kms. from village Raipur. It is submitted, that the place, where the hospital has been constructed, is more accessible to the residents of the area. 3. Having considered the matter in its totality, since a Government Allopathic Hospital has already been constructed in the near vicinity of the village Raipur, we are satisfied, that the claim made by the petitioners has principally been accepted. 4. In view of the above, the instant writ petition is disposed of. (Sudhanshu Dhulia, J.) (J.S. Khehar, C. J.) 20.05.2010 20.05.2010 G
