Bhopal/Jabalpur: 6.11.2021
A division bench of MP high court imposed a penalty of Rs 5,000 on a petitioner, who had filed a PIL seeking direction for establishing a unit of AIIMS at Jabalpur, after it was revealed to the court that he had filed a PIL making the same demand in the past as well and it was rejected. The court had asked him to give an application in the ministry of health for the purpose but he filed a PIL again.
The division bench of chief justice Ravi Vijay Kumar Malimath and Justice V K Shukla holding the petitioner guilty of misusing the PIL platform decided to impose a cost on him while refusing to hear the petition.
The petitioner Deep Gupta, a resident of Cherital, contended that three districts of Mahakoshal region are Naxaliteaffected and there is a sizable tribal population in the region. Therefore, a unit of AIIMS should open in Jabalpur as well and also supported his argument by saying that two units of AIIMS have been sanctioned for Jammu & Kashmir, therefore a unit of AIIMS at Jabalpur in addition to Bhopal in MP should not be a problem.
