Lucknow, Aug 18 : The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court today issued a notice to the Uttar Pradesh government and the Director General, Medical Education to file a detailed counter affidavit within six weeks in connection with deaths of children at the BRD Medical College hospital in Gorakhpur recently. The court also fixed October 9 as next date of hearing. A bench comprising Justice Vikram Nath and Daya Shankar Tiwari passed the order after hearing a PIL filed by Nutan Thakur, Advocate General of UP Raghavendra Pratap Singh and Medical Education Counsel Sanjay Bhasin. The Advocate General opposed the petition saying that the state government has taken every possible measure and shall take all possible actions as per the report submitted by the Chief Secretary while the petitioners said the action of the state government so far gave a message that they were trying to hide facts and shield certain guilty persons so that the Chief Secretary inquiry would be an eye wash. The petitioner also emphasized the problem of private practice in state hospitals and medical colleges, seeking complete ban on them. Earlier, the Supreme Court had refused to entertain a PIL on the issue and had asked the petitioner to approach the Allahabad High Court. UNI
