Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Tamil Nadu Government to remove kiosks from hospital premises under the rationale of public health and safety, as established in G.O.M.No.2055 dated 30.10.1987. The Court reiterated that the removal of such kiosks is justified to prevent health hazards and ensure the unobstructed flow of traffic, referencing the precedent set in N. Jagadeesan & Ors. vs. District Collector, North Arcot & Ors. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal of the revision petition was dismissed, affirming the government's policy as reasonable and lawful.
