HC slams Delhi Govt for 'lethargy' in construction of 100-bedded Najafgarh hospital
The Court made it clear to the Delhi government that it cannot sit tight upon the matters asking it to follow the process of law keeping in mind the welfare of the public at large.;
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday criticised the Delhi government for its "lethargic attitude" on processing the forest clearance required to complete a 100-bedded hospital in the Najafgarh area.
A Division Bench of Chief Justice DN Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh called it unfortunate of the public that a 100-bedded hospital in the Najafgarh area was not completed and criticized the Delhi government for showing a lethargic attitude in processing the forest clearance.
However, the Court granted time to the Delhi government to file its reply to the petition indicating the least possible time within which the state government may grant permission/sanction, as required by the Centre under law.
The Court also remarked that the Centre is writing letters after letters and no reply has been given by the Delhi Government, nor it file any counter-affidavit in the writ petition. The Court made it clear to the Delhi government that it cannot sit tight upon the matters asking it to follow the process of law-keeping in mind the welfare of the public at large.
