Heard learned Counsel for the
petitioner and learned AGP for the
respondents / State. By way of this
petition, the petitioner has raised
grievance against the respondents for not
providing adequate staff including Medical
Officers. As a result, common citizens of
Jalgaon city are not getting proper
treatment in the Civil Hospital, Jalgaon.
According to the petitioner, there are 33
posts of Class II Medical Officers and 18
posts of Class I Medical Officers in the
Civil Hospital, Jalgaon, as sanctioned by

¶17

¶18

the Government of Maharashtra. However,
out of 18 posts of Class I Medical
Officers, only 5 posts have been filled in
and 13 posts are vacant; and out of 33
posts of Class II Medical Officers, 18
posts are vacant. The learned Counsel for
the petitioner has invited our attention
to the position of vacancies stated in
Annexure “A”, pages 21 to 23 of the
petition.

¶19

2 Upon careful perusal of the pleadings in the petition and Annexure “A” to the petition, it appears that there are vacant posts of Medical Officers in the Civil Hospital at Jalgaon. The State Government is supposed to give utmost priority to the health of citizens. In our considered opinion, the grievance raised in this petition deserves to be taken care of by the respondents No.1 to 4.

¶20

3In that view of the matter, we direct
respondent No.1 to ensure that, the
process to fill up the posts of Medical
Officers is initiated, as expeditiously as
possible; however, within four months from
today.

¶21

So far as prayer clause (B) in the

petition is concerned, we make it clear
that, we have not expressed any opinion

redressal of his grievance. Public
Interest Litigation stands disposed of on
above terms.
