This petition has been filed by the petitioners allegedly in public interest on the ground that the State of Haryana is not taking steps to fill up the posts lying vacant in hospitals especially District and Civil Hospitals and Community Health Centres, Primary Health Centres, sub-centres etc. in the various districts of the State of Haryana.
The petitioners have pointed out several deficiencies in the health and medical facilities available in the District Hospitals.
Apart from pointing out district-wise statistics, no specific instance of any adverse consequence flowing from the situation as pointed out in the petition has been placed on record or pointed out to this Court. The petition is omnibus in nature and seeks a direction for filling up all vacant posts and raising standards of health care in the State of Haryana.
