New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Tuesday was referred to as “absurd” the order of the Delhi government last year made him mandate a mask while driving alone.
“This is the command of the Delhi government, why don’t you draw it.
Actually it doesn’t make sense.
You sit in your own car and you have to wear a mask? Why is it still valid? Take instructions,” Judge Vipin Sanghi and Jasmeet Singh said when the advice for the AAP government highlight this problem.
“Someone sat in a car with a rolled window and was placed for Rs 2,000.
The single judge’s order was very unfortunate,” the advice for the government submitted, informing the bench of the 2021 high court order, which had refused to disrupt the Delhi government’s decision to impose Challan for driving alone private car .
He said the situation was different and now the pandemic is almost over and urges the court to mention the same in the order.
However, the bench reminded him that the initial order was ratified by the Delhi government, which was enforced by the High Court.
Senior adviser Rahul Mehra then said it was the government’s order or the center of Delhi, it was a bad order and needed to be reviewed again said the bench had to intervene.
But the bench, who heard the pill filed by Rakesh Malhotra’s advocate about Covid-19 management in the city, said the order was not in conflicting before.
“If the order is bad why you don’t pull it,” Bench wondered, said it expected DDMA to consider all such aspects at the next meeting.
Ordering 2021 The single judge had arrived while rejecting four petitions by lawyers who had challenged the imposition of ‘Challans’ because they did not wear a mask while driving alone in a private vehicle.
It is said that wearing a mask while driving alone in a private vehicle is mandatory in the context of Covid-19 and has described the face that covers ‘Surakha Kavach’, or a shield protector, against the spread of infection.
The unity of the Ministry of Health and the welfare of the family has told the court that it did not issue the direction asking people to wear masks in the car when they were alone and that health was the subject of the country and the Delhi government had to decide.
During hearing Tuesday, the High Court also examined other aspects of Covid government preparedness and said it was happy with all the progress of the round.
