New Delhi, Dec 3 (PTI) Being the conscience-keeper of democracy, the court cannot turn a blind eye when the ends of justice are being bulldozed in broad daylight, the Delhi High Court has observed, setting aside an order cancelling the lease deed of a charitable hospital built on public land.
The high court said it is a travesty of justice that an institution contributing to a noble cause being that of running a charitable hospital on public land and providing sound research and treatment facilities has been made to suffer the rigours of cancellation of the lease deed and vacation of the property.
"Law, which should be an instrument for ensuring welfare, is being reduced to a tool of atrocity in the instant case. Being a constitutional court and the conscience-keeper of democracy, this court cannot turn a blind eye when the ends of justice are being bulldozed in broad daylight," Justice Chandra Dhari Singh said.
