A bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice A. Rajasheker Reddy passed this direction, modifying an earlier direction given by the previous bench in a PIL petition. Earlier, on August 31, the bench headed by the then Acting Chief Justice instructed the government not to open government residential schools on the ground that they did not have adequate infrastructure to check spread of Coronavirus.
The bench then said that it would be difficult for the students in the schools and hostels to maintain social distance, and in the absence of proper facilities, the students were likely to contract COVID-19 and become super-spreaders. When the PIL plea came up for hearing, Advocate General B.S. Prasad requested the bench to open government residential schools with hostel facilities.
