Petition posted for further hearing on Jan. 20
The State government informed the High Court on Thursday that B. Anandaiah of Krishnapatnam cannot be allowed to treat patients afflicted by the Omicron variant of the coronavirus without a thorough verification of his claims.
During the hearing by a Division Bench comprising Justices C. Praveen Kumar and K. Manmadha Rao on a petition filed by Mr. Anandaiah against his alleged prevention by the police from treating patients, special government pleader C. Sumon said that it was true that two constables were posted outside the residence of the self-proclaimed Registered Medical Practitioner (RMP) to prevent people from gathering in large numbers due to the Omicron threat.
