Till May 31, all Government hospitals have been asked to focus on managing COVID cases and to restrict non-COVID care to emergency services.
In an attempt to provide better attention to patient care requirements during the pandemic, the Health department has issued orders converting all fever clinics in hospitals in the State to COVID clinics, which will provide necessary consultation, lab services and medicines for COVID-positive patients as per the State’s treatment protocols. Till May 31, all Government hospitals have been asked to focus on managing COVID cases and to restrict non-COVID care to emergency services.“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
The High Court of Karnataka on Monday declined to interfere, at present, in the investigation against a Bharatiya Janata Party worker, who is among the accused persons facing charges of circulating obscene clips, related to “morphed” images and videos clips related to Prajwal Revanna, former Hassan MP, in public domain through pen drives and other modes.
