HC orders ESIC Hospital Andheri Completion by August 15
Bombay High Court
Mumbai: After the massive fire incident in December 2018, the Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) Hospital in Andheri East remained non-operational all these years. The Bombay High Court, through a recent judgement, ordered the corporation to finish rebuilding its Model Super Speciality Hospital in Andheri East by August 15, 2025.
Disposing of the PIL filed by Rajesh Sharma, former Deputy Mayor of Mumbai, the court has also asked ESIC to make sure the hospital starts functioning by January 31, 2026, which was badly damaged in the fire in December 2018.
The order came after a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by Rajesh Sharma, former Deputy Mayor of Mumbai. Sharma, through his lawyers Rahul Kamerkar and Aparajita Jha, urged the court to take action as the hospital had not resumed services even after more than five years.
