Bombay HC asks civic body to file reply to PIL challenging mask fine

India Today  

The Bombay High Court has sought a reply from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation on the mask mandate it had imposed in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. The court’s direction comes after a petition urged the HC to declare the collection of fines from the public for not wearing masks illegal. However, government pleader Priyabhushan Kakade informed the Bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice MS Karnik that the state had withdrawn all the restrictions, including the mask mandate. This is why the petitioner has urged the court to declare the fines collected for not wearing masks illegal.
