While hearing a plea for door to door vaccination, #BombayHighCourt enquired with the Union as to how could political leaders get vaccinations at home while the citizens could not.

#CovidVaccine #COVIDー19
Chief Justice Dipankar Datta: Important political leaders get a jab at home. How do political leaders get a vaccine at home and other cannot? There has to be a uniform policy.

#CovidVaccine #COVIDー19
CJ: Municipal Commissioner BMC said to us that there is a requirement of ICU, then are ICU’s available in homes of leaders?

#CovidVaccine #COVIDー19
CJ: In any case we have to wait for a week (to hear the plea), as the state is running out of (vaccine) stock. We will keep it pending till next week.

CJ asks Union to file a short affidavit to explain protocols for vaccinations and centres.

#CovidVaccine #COVIDー19
CJ: This is not an adversarial litigation. There has to be something for the senior citizens and simplify online procedure.

#CovidVaccine #COVIDー19
CJ: What has happened has happened, but if we come across anything that political leaders are getting a jab at home, then we will see to it. If the PM can go to the centres and get vaccine then why cannot Maharashtra leaders do the same?

#CovidVaccine #COVIDー19
Justice Kulkarni: The president of India went to AIIMS. If they can go why can’t everyone go? This sends out a wrong message.

#COVID #COVIDー19 #CovidVaccine
The Court has granted the Union time to file an affidavit explaining their protocols. Will take up the plea on April 21, 2021.

#MumbaiPolice cop #SachinWaze remanded to judicial custody till April 23, 2021 in the #AntiliaCase
Adv Sunil Gonsalves appearing for NIA submits that the statement which Waze wanted to give to the court somehow got leaked out in the media despite directions from court to file the same in Court as per procedure under CrPC.

#SachinWaze #AntiliaCase #NIA
Special NIA Court pulled up Waze’s lawyers.

Court: I never said don’t file. I only said proper procedure under CrPC has to be followed. This ought not have happened and this should not happen again.

#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.
