ORDER

23.08.2022 03.

1. This petition filed way back in 2015 complaining of nonavailability of adequate quantity of medicines to treat snake bites, dog bites and rabies. A counter affidavit was filed on 21st July 2015, claiming that the victims of snake bites were always well attended and provided appropriate treatment and that reference is made to the SCB Medical College and Hospital depending on the seriousness of the patients. Copies of the stock register have been enclosed as Annexure-3 to the affidavit.

2. It is not clear if the problem still persists. Therefore, leaving it open to the Petitioners to first file a representation to the Opposite Parties in regard to non-availability, if any, of the anti-snake venom drugs and after following upon such representation to seek

appropriate remedies in accordance with law, the writ petition is disposed of.
