Orissa HC Lifts stay on VSS Eviction

Updated on: Thursday, March 08, 2012

The Orissa High Court directed the state government to continue its eviction drive after dismissing the petition of stay granted earlier on eviction of encroachers in the VSS Medical College and Hospital campus. The Division Bench of Chief Justice V Gopala Gowda and Justice B N Mohapatra yesterday dismissed another petition with a similar prayer and asked the government to complete the eviction drive soon and submit a report to the court within 10 days.

the HC last year had asked the government to launch a massive eviction drive inside the campus of the hospital and remove all encroachments when the students of the medical college had alleged that unsocial elements were creating nuisances in the campus.

The court granted a stay after hearing a petition filed by Sasmita Panigrahi praying for a stop to the drive. Another person Gouri Das too approached the High Court with a similar prayer encouraged by the stay order obtained by Sasmita.

This time when the matter was listed before the court of the Chief Justice, the government counsel told the court that the eviction process had come to a halt because of the stay order granted by another bench of the HC. The Bench, headed by the Chief Justice tagged both the cases and adjudicating over it jointly dismissed the petitions.
