#BREAKING: #DelhiHighCourt holds that wearing of masks is compulsory even if a person is driving alone in a car in the context of the #COVID19 pandemic.

The vehicle even if occupied by one person would be a public place, Justice Prathiba Singh holds.
A mask is like a suraksha kavach for preventing the spread of the coronavirus. It protects the person wearing it as also the person who is exposed...wearing of masks has been one measure that has saved millions of lives: #DelhiHighCourt

#COVID19
Court adds that wearing of masks is also encouraged within home if there are elderly persons. Vehicle moving across public places may pose risk of exposure

"Thus, a vehicle even if constituted by one person would constitute a public place.. wearing of mask would be compulsory."
"The wearing of a mask of a face cover in a vehicle, which may be occupied by either a single person or multiple persons, is... compulsory in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. "

#MadrasHighCourt seeks response on the anti-corruption set up in the State, the degree of independence afforded to the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) and the number of corruption cases attended to in the last 3 financial years.

#Corruption
During the hearing today, Court also posed queries on how secure the DVAC is and the extent to which its own officers have indulged in #corruption.

“…we want to know how secure is your Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption", CJ Sanjib Banerjee orally observed
"We have no doubt you have a very attractive website, 20,000 pages of nothing written, but we want to get to the meat of the matter… Or are we in such a fool's paradise that we have to believe that there is no corruption over there?“ CJ Banerjee remarked.

Election Commission will notify the Rajya Sabha elections for 3 vacancies from Kerala (that will arise later this month on the retirement of the MPs) prior to the expiry of the term of these 3 MPs i.e. before April 21, 2021, #KeralaHighCourt told.

@ECISVEEP
Adv Deepu Lal Mohan (for EC) says that the reason why HC was moved was because the earlier notification was kept in abeyance.

A revised election schedule will be issued. At this moment, it cannot be speculated when it will be scheduled, but it will be before April 21, he adds
Senior Advocate CS Vaidyanathan, for the petitioner, argues that the Election Commission must disclose why the initial date for the Rajya Sabha elections was reconsidered in the first place and what reference of the Law Ministry was involved.
