Sri Abraham. T.J vs The State Of Karnataka on 3 July, 2017
While so, the
donors, the contractor and a local politician filed writ petitions
before the Madurai Bench to direct the Government to establish the
medical college at the land gifted by the donor. The Writ Court
granted interim stay and restrained the Government from changing
the location. Another writ petition was filed in public interest to
accept the municipal land. The Division Bench following the
judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Abraham T.J. V. The
State of Karnataka [2017 (7) Scale 641] held that it is the
prerogative of the Government to select the land for establishing
medical college and there is no legal right to claim that only the
land gifted by the donor should be used for the public purpose.
