ORDER

(Order of the Court was made by The Hon'ble Chief Justice) The opening of a Primary Health Centre for arranging the medical facilities totally falls within the domain of the policy decision of the State Government and we do not consider it appropriate to intervene on this issue under public interest litigation. However, we feel, it would be appropriate, if the concerned authorities bestow their consideration to the grievance/representation made by the petitioner dated 04.07.2016 and communicate their decision to the petitioner within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt of the copy of this order.

2. The writ petition is dismissed with the aforesaid observation. No costs.
