A bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice MS Karnik took exception to the fact that a committee, which was to be set up in this regard, had not yet been constituted despite the passage of more than 3.5 months since the last order of the Court.
“Three and half months is not enough for setting up committee? There was some urgency in the last one month but what happened before that? We read in newspapers that 400 Government Resolutions were issued, and a simple committee could not be constitituted and lives of people are at stake” CJ Datta said.
After examining an affidavit filed by the State setting out the further course of action, Bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice MS Karnik retorted that 3 and a half months for setting up of a committee was too ling a time period.
The Bench the proceeded to call for relevant records of the files of the State government to see what progress has been made by the State after their last order of April 2022.
