Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the removal of kiosks from hospital premises as per the Government of Tamil Nadu's policy decision, citing the need to eliminate health hazards and ensure public convenience. The Court referenced the case of N. Jagadeesan & Ors. vs. District Collector, North Arcot & Ors. (1997) 4 SCC 508, affirming that the removal was justified and not arbitrary. The Court dismissed the appeal against the High Court's order, reinforcing the legality of the actions taken by the State authorities under the relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code.
