19 February 2024 Public Interest Litigation >> Constitution & Law Procedure  

The judgment of the court is that the writ petitions are dismissed and the interim order dated 16th November 2016 stands vacated. The court found that the petitioners did not have a legal basis for their challenge to the Cabinet Decision, and that the GNCTD's undertaking to provide all requisite funds required for UCMS will be made available and budget will not be an issue is accepted by the court and taken on record.

Facts:

• The Cabinet Decision was not challenged by the petitioners.
• The GNCTD has undertaken to provide all requisite funds required for UCMS.

Court's reasoning: 

The court's reasoning is that the petitioners' challenge to the Cabinet Decision is without merit, and that the GNCTD's undertaking to provide all requisite funds required for UCMS is a sufficient guarantee that the UCMS will be adequately funded.

Conclusion:

The court's decision is likely to have a significant impact on the UCMS. The UCMS will now be under the control of the GNCTD, and the GNCTD has undertaken to provide all requisite funds required for UCMS. This is likely to lead to an improvement in the quality of education and healthcare at the UCMS.

The court's decision is also likely to have a significant impact on the petitioners. The petitioners are likely to lose their jobs as a result of the UCMS being taken over by the GNCTD. However, the court has not ruled on this issue, and it is possible that the GNCTD will offer the petitioners new jobs.
