Adding to the misery of the family members of a 51-year-old man who died of COVID-19, his body kept in a queue at the Hindon crematorium was gnawed by a stray dog. The deceased was employed as an orderly in the district judge’s court of Ghaziabad and was tested COVID-19 positive on Thursday. After he developed breathing problems, he was admitted to the civil hospital. Triloki Singh, a colleague, said that the patient was under treatment but his condition deteriorated and he was referred to Santosh Medical College on Saturday evening. He showed sign of improvement and his oxygen reached to 80 from 40. But after few hours, his oxygen level again fell to 30 at around 11 pm. At 1 a.m. on Sunday, he suffered cardiac arrest and doctors declared him dead. The hospital handed over the body to the family as per COVID-19 protocol by wrapping it in a PPE kit and a piece of polythene.“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.
