The courtroom issued the path on Wednesday whilst removing a PIL filed on March 18.
The faculty construction — a 137-year-old structure and a classic example of Indo-European structure — has been mendacity in a decrepit situation and has been declared unsafe three years again. On August 14 last yr, city-based legal professional Shivsankar Mohanty, thru a memorandum, had instructed the commissioner-cum-chairman of CMC’s heritage conservation committee to declare Christ Collegiate School as a ‘heritage construction’ under the provisions of Orissa Municipal Corporation Act, 2003.
Mohanty moved the prime courtroom after his illustration elicited no reaction. “After a temporary hearing, the department bench of Chief Justice K S Jhaveri and Justice K R Mohapatra disposed of the petition with a path to the commissioner of Cuttack Municipal Corporation to behave within four weeks on the illustration submitted to him on August 14, 2018,” Mohanty said.
The memorandum said there was wish to maintain the college construction ‘for the people at huge and posterity’ as it was a testimony to Indo-European structure marked through a combination of options of the overdue renaissance length.
It added that the workplace of the manager engineer roads and buildings (Cuttack department) under the general public works department had thru a letter to the concerned government on February 20, 2016, warned that “because of dilapidated situation the college construction would possibly collapse any time, therefore no scholars and personnel will have to be allowed to sit within the construction”.
But the college, a government-aided educational establishment managed through a Christian frame, kept performing from the construction, the memorandum mentioned.
Dr W D Stewart, a civil surgeon, had constructed the construction at Mission Road in 1883 for his place of dwelling. In 1887, he proficient the property to the Baptist Mission to begin a school — the Baptist Mission School. It was named as Christ Collegiate School in 1950.
As issues stand now, the walls of the British-era edifice are cracking, bushes jutting out of the construction and plasters peeling off the ceiling because of loss of upkeep.
The Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage had submitted an offer to the state tradition department in 2014 to repair and renovate the college construction at an estimated cost of Rs 2.four crore. The proposal has since been pending with the dept.
