| | Owner of sealed pharmacy shop approaches HC | | | SRINAGAR, Aug 2: The owner of Pediatric Pharmacy shop presently sealed under government orders, has filed a petition before the High Court seeking removal of seal.
According to Bashir Ahmad Bashir, the senior advocate and the counsel for Mohammad Rifat Khan, there has never been any compliant against the petitioner with regard to any drug displayed and supplied by the petitioner in the shop being of any inferior o spurious quality.
“The statement made by the present Medical Superintendent of G B Pant hospital before the High Court with regard to sealing of my client’s shop is contradictory to what he been quoted by certain local newspapers,” Bashir said, adding that the drug inspector concerned as a competent authority under Drug and Cosmetic Act has taken samples of different medicines regularly from time to time and after analyses thereof has given reports that the samples taken from my client’s shop have been found of a standard quality.
However, Bashir said that on statement the present medical superintendent G B Pant has said that the contract of running the shop within the hospital had expired so it was sealed. And on the other in his second statement the medical superintendent of G B pant hospital has said that my client was selling spurious drugs and that is why it was sealed.
“In order to divert attention of people or of the administration, the respondent number 2 (present medical superintendent G B Pant hospital) is behaving as if he is law unto himself and is not hesitating in giving false, frivolous and malicious statements for reasons unknown and better known to him,” reads one of the paragraphs of the petition filed by Khan.
The petitioner has added the fact of the matter is that 90 per cent medicine is being provided by the hospital itself to the patients and it is further a fact that recently gauze and ampicillin found in the hospital itself turned out to be of sub standard quality which facts have been suppressed by the present medical superintendent.
“The petitioner is being made unwarrantedly and illegally, a scapegoat to divert attention of the people from the real culprits…” the petition reads further.
Khan’s counsel has said that the agreement reached between his client and the hospital authorities is valid till October 23, 2013 and there was no question that the agreement has expired.
The petitioner has shot a defamatory notice to the present medical superintendent of G B pant hospital claiming compensation for the damages ‘caused to him’.
On July 24, two medical shops were sealed inside the GB Pant Hospital by a team of officials deputed by District Magistrate Srinagar.
A team comprising of Executive Magistrate-Tehsildar South Srinagar, SHO Ram Munshi Bagh police station and Medical Superintendent GB Pant Hospital sealed the shops, whose contract of running the shops within the hospital had allegedly expired. |
