Judgment
26/08/2022
This PIL has been filed by the petitioners seeking Court's
intervention against proposed construction of Urban Primary
(2 of 3) [CW-12367/2021]
Health Center (UPHC) at Ward No. 78, near Bairwa Basti, new
Ward No. 55, Painter Colony, Jaipur.
Referring to the averments made in the writ petition, learned
counsel appearing for the petitioners would contend that the
respondents had earlier proposed construction of UPHC on the
Government land comprised in Ward No.78, but later on, with
ulterior motive, the location has been changed and now the UPHC
has been proposed to be constructed on the land of Ward No.79
(new Ward No.55). He would submit that the land where the UPHC
is proposed to be established is being developed as a public park
and number of trees are also standing. If the respondents are
allowed to construct the UPHC, it will affect the park area and also
the greenery would be adversely affected due to cutting of trees
as a result of construction of UPHC.
Learned counsel for the respondents, on the other hand,
would submit that though earlier it was proposed to construct
UPHC on Ward No.78, due to delimitation of constituencies, earlier
Ward No.78 now falls within another assembly constituency. The
land which is now proposed falls in Ward No. 79 (new Ward No.55)
of Kishanpole. He would submit that as far as allegation that the
area has been recorded as public park, the land though is
Government land, but not recorded as public park. He would
further submit that permission of the Collector has been granted
for cutting of only few trees on condition of planting trees which
will be strictly followed. According to learned counsel for the State
there is need for establishing clinic for providing medical facilities
to the residents of the area which is no less important public
interest.
(3 of 3) [CW-12367/2021]
After hearing learned counsel for the parties, we find that the
proposal of the respondents is to establish a urban primary health
center, is also an essential requirement for providing health
services to the public. Moreover, it appears that the only a part of
the land is proposed to be used for construction of urban primary
health center. Permission has been granted by the Collector to cut
only five trees on various conditions which have been also placed
on record along with the reply. The total area comprised in the
proposed construction of urban primary health center is
approximately 18 meter x 14 meter.
Therefore, considering that the proposal of the respondents
is to construct an urban public health center, which is necessary
for providing the health services to the residents of the area, we
are not inclined to interfere with the decision of the respondents.
Accordingly, the petition is dismissed.
Before parting with the case, we shall observe that except
five trees, which have already been cut, the other trees, which are
standing in the surrounding area, shall not be disturbed and the
area which remains shall be duly developed as a park.
