The bench, however, was not impressed.
“In case you are finding some or other loophole to see our order is not complied with then we have to take a serious view of it,” Justice Joseph remarked.
“Do not bring in conditions to say that with your entire police force you cannot keep a watch on an ailing 70 year old,” Justice Roy also weighed in.

“Please have this on Monday I have to go for my 90-year-old mother in law,” he said.

“SG and ASG saying that we cannot keep a 70-year-old ailing man in house confinement with all might of the State,” Justice Roy said.
