Order against medical college withdrawn
Third party appellant asked to pay cost of ₹1 lakh


29/08/2019, LEGAL CORRESPONDENT,CHENNAI

The Madras High Court on Wednesday withdrew the leave granted by it on Monday permitting a third party to file a writ appeal against an order passed in favour of Sri Muthukumaram Medical College Hospital which was facing allegations of encroachment of waterbodies and putting up unauthorised buildings at Chikkarayapuram near Mangadu here.

Justices Vineet Kothari and C.V. Karthikeyan imposed a cost of ₹1 lakh on K.M. Krishnan, a whistle blower from West Mambalam here.

Lunch motion

The appellant had moved a lunch motion on Monday and obtained leave to appeal an order passed by a single judge of the High Court permitting the college to make admissions through common counselling.

The leave was granted by another Division Bench since Justice Kothari was in the Madurai Bench of the High Court on Monday. Then, that Bench passed an interim order permitting counselling to go on but ordered that students would have to get admitted at their own risk.

When the appeal came up for hearing on Wednesday, the Bench found that the appellant appeared to be a busybody who was projecting himself as a champion of students.

The Bench found the appeal to be frivolous and unnecessary.
