Terming as unfortunate the government inaction to provide an MRI machine and appoint a full-time director for Dharwad Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (DIMHANS) for the last 18 months, the High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday directed Principal Secretary, Health and Family Welfare Department, to personally appear before it on November 18.
A Division Bench comprising Acting Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Sachin Shankar Magadum issued the direction while hearing a PIL petition filed in 1996 by the Karnataka State Legal Services Authority through which the court is monitoring facilities being provided to treat mentally ill persons across the State.
The Bench made it clear that the appearance of the Principal Secretary will not become necessary if the government provides the MRI machine and appoints a full-time director for DIMHANS by then.
