#BombayHighCourt is hearing the plea seeking directions to civic authorities to start door to door vaccination of elderly and bed-ridden persons.

Hearing before Bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice GS Kulkarni.

#CovidVaccine
Advocate General Ashutosh Kumbhakoni submits the policy for door to door vaccination.

#BombayHighCourt

@CMOMaharashtra
Sr Adv anil Sakhare informs the Court that #BMC has started the drive as pre-decided.
Sakhare: Till date about 4750 people have been registered and vaccination done is of 602 people.

#BombayHighCourt

@mybmc
Adv Dhruti Kapadia, petitioner in person states that there are tiny glitches in the policy.
- Doctors are not coming forward to certify persons eligible for door to door vaccines.

#BombayHighCourt

@DhrutiMKapadia
Kapadia: - Sending emails for registration would be hassle for technological challenged persons hence telephone numbers to be provided.
- Asking for govt approved ID cards may be an issue for bed-ridden people who do not have any IDs.

#BombayHighCourt
Court: Give it 7-10 days.. There may be teething problems. You give your suggestions in writing for improvement.

#BombayHighCourt
Kapadia: Also the NGO has to be looked into, who are participating in the drive..

Sakhare: There are NGOs who are helping us register the names of the persons. If they are volunteering, why would we stop them.. It would only help us getting more and more persons vaccinated.
Court directs BMC to put on affidavit the number of bed-ridden who have been vaccinated. They have been directed to specify the role of NGOs in the affidavit.

Matter placed on next Thursday.

#BombayHighCourt
Corrigendum: BMC has received 4715 registrations so far, and not 4750 as tweeted above.

#DelhiHighCourt

Additional Solicitor General S V Raju opposes bail of the accused persons in a #DelhiRiots case: Herculean task to identify people through videography. If a person is identified it's a bonus but if he isn’t, that doesn’t mean he is not part of the mob.
Given the nature of offence, number of people running heater-skelter, videography may not have captured him. Just because they haven’t been identified, they can’t be exonerated: ASG
HC: People are not asking for exoneration people asking for bail.
ASG: Case has offence under S302 (murder). Ordinarily in a 302 offence bail is not to be granted. It's not a simple case. It is 302. Not a simple but grave offence. #DelhiRiots
