New building for OGH: High Court pulls Telangana govt for dilly-dallying
The High Court bench directed the Telangana government to take a decision as to whether the existing structures within the complex of Osmania General Hospital required to be razed and one fresh construction required to be undertaken
Hyderabad: The High Court bench directed the Telangana government to take a decision as to whether the existing structures within the complex of Osmania General Hospital required to be razed and one fresh construction required to be undertaken or whether the Medical and Health department would be inclined to retain the existing structure and similarly take up a new construction within a period of six weeks and inform the same to the court.
When Advocate General BS Prasad informed the bench that the Telangana government had not yet taken a decision on the issue of construction of new building to house the Osmania General Hospital, Chief Justice Hima Kohli asked for how long the government would continue to take a decision on the issue?
“Your (Telangana government) action is so casual and the AG continues to communicate the assurances of government to the court. The Telangana government does not believe in taking decisions on time and if that be so, this court will pass an order directing it to take a decision on this issue,” observed CJ Hima Kohli.
