The Bombay High Court on Saturday said it cannot permit lawyers to travel by suburban trains at least till the end of July as the Maharashtra State COVID-19 Task Force apprehends a third wave of the pandemic. A division bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice G.S. Kulkarni said that the court cannot override medical experts' opinion by a judicial order. “At least till the end of July, it may not be possible (to allow lawyers to commute by trains).
