While treating a media report on non-functioning of Trauma Hospital Ramban as Public Interest Litigation, J&K High Court on Wednesday issued notice to J&K administration.
The report had highlighted that the hospital was non-functional for last 10 years owing to the shortage of staff and dearth of infrastructure and machinery.
The Court issued notice to J&K through Secretary, Health and Medical Education to show cause as to why the writ petition be not admitted to hearing.
The Court asked the government to file a status report positively by June 16, the next date of hearing.
Meanwhile, the Court appointed advocate Monika Kohli as amicus curiae in the matter.
