Very careful before using court orders to politicise Covid: Gujarat High Court
Gujarat High Court stated that court orders, in which it slammed the government for its failure to control the spread Covid-19 pandemic, should not be made basis to criticise the government and politicise Covid-19 issue.
High Court said that if the state government would not have been doing anything, as alleged, then probably, by now, we all would have been dead.
On Friday, a bench comprising Chief Justice Nath and Justice J.B. Pardiwal noted that its orders were being “misused for some oblique motive”.
The court requested people to be “very careful from now onward before commenting or entering into any debate with regard to Court orders” being passed in public interest.
The court also added the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) as a respondent, directing it to answer people’s questions on its testing policies.
