A division bench comprising justices Amar Saran and Ashok Srivastava passed the order on the PIL filed an advocate Bhanu Pratap Singh who has submitted that the city was "the best possible venue" for such a hospital which could also help reduce the rush of patients at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences at Delhi.
The petitioner has prayed for directions for setting up of the proposed hospital here and also alleged that lack of coordination between the Centre and the state government has been coming in the way of the project despite more than Rs 800 crore having been sanctioned for the same.
Asking the Centre and the state to file their replies within three weeks, the court has fixed May 23 as the next date of hearing in the matter. PTI CORR NAC RT
