The Hindu
It is wishy-washy and disappointing, says Bench
Describing the affidavit filed by the State government in COVID-19-related PIL petitions as “wishy-washy and disappointing”, the Telangana High Court on Monday asked if the State was contending for the position of topper in the country. “We are very unhappy with your affidavit as it does not contain any of the details like measures to check footfall in cinema halls and other public places,” a Bench of Chief Justice Hima Kohli and Justice B. Vijaysen Reddy said. Expressing dissatisfaction over Advocate General (AG) B.S. Prasad’s reply that the State government was gearing up to tackle the situation, the Bench passed over the matter to hear the pleas after lunch break.
