Party slams State government for slow pace of vaccination
The Opposition Congress in Manipur recently made suggestions to the BJP-led coalition government here to overcome the spike in the COVID-19-related infections and deaths. Congress MLA and party spokesperson K. Joykishan, however, slammed the government for the slow pace of vaccination and official rigmarole in getting admitted to COVID-19 hospitals. The government had set up a hospital admission committee to give approval for admission to hospitals.“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.
