Rajasthan HC Rejects Plea Alleging District Hospital Being Set Up Next To Land Of Municipal Board Chairman's Wife For Appreciating Its Value

The Rajasthan High Court dismissed a plea alleging that a district hospital in Deoli was being set up next to land owned by the Municipal Board Chairman’s wife to increase its value. The petitioner argued that there were more suitable locations for the hospital, but the chosen site was selected to benefit the Chairman’s wife. The court ruled that setting up a hospital is a policy decision and not subject to judicial review unless there is clear evidence of malafide intent. The court noted that the petitioner’s allegations were unsubstantiated and that the Chairman’s wife was not made a party to the case. The court emphasized that policy decisions, such as the location of public facilities, should not be interfered with unless there is a clear violation of law or evidence of corruption. The petition was dismissed, and the court upheld the decision of the Municipal Board.
