MANJUNATHA RAYAPPA., AGA FOR R1 TO 4) Digitally signed by PREMCHANDRA M R Location: High Court of Karnataka - 2 - NC: 2025:KHC:5050 WP No. 25183 of 2017 THIS WRIT PETITION IS FILED UNDER ARTICLES 226 AND 227 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA, SEEKING CERTAIN RELIEFS. THIS WRIT PETITION IS LISTED FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING IN 'B' GROUP, THIS DAY, AN ORDER IS MADE AS UNDER: ORAL ORDER Sri.Chinmay Kulkarni., counsel on behalf of Sri.R.Gopal., for the petitioner and Sri.Manjunatha Rayappa., AGA for respondents 1 to 4 have appeared in person. 2. The order dated:23.05.2017 issued by the first respondent vide Annexure-J is called into question in this Writ Petition on several grounds as setout in the Memorandum of Writ Petition. 3. Counsel for the respective parties urged several contentions. Heard the arguments and perused the writ papers with care. 4. The petitioner contends that he is unemployed Pharmacist and resident of Davanagere is entitled for allotment of Jan Aushadhi Kendra in the first respondent Hospital. He applied and the Bureau of Pharama rejected his request. Hence he has filed the writ petition. - 3 - NC: 2025:KHC:5050 WP No. 25183 of 2017 AGA on instruction from the District Health Officer submits that the MSIL is running the Generic Medical Shops as of today. By way of reply to this, counsel for the petitioner submits that no body is operating the Medical Shops. Counsel, therefore, submits that an appropriate order may be passed. 5. The communication dated 23.05.2017 is furnished along with the writ petition and the same is marked as Annexure-J. A perusal of the same would reflects that the petitioner's request was rejected and it was intimated to him that the government has proposed to allot to MSIL to run the Generic Medical Shops. I find no reasons to quash the communication. Because of the running of Generic Medical Shops by the MSIL as of today, nothing survives for consideration. Hence, the writ petition is devoid of merits and same is liable to be rejected. 6. Resultantly, the Writ Petition is rejected. Sd/- (JYOTI MULIMANI) JUDGE MRP List No.: 2 Sl No.: 5.1
