Live Law  

While perusing the affidavit and the accompanying documents filed by the State Government, the Tripura High Court on Monday observed that on 18th and 19th September 2020 the State Government had carried out a special drive for violation of the directives for wearing masks in public. The Division Bench of Chief Justice Akil Kureshi and Justice S. Talapatra further observed, "It may not be possible for the administration to carry on the drive at the same level of intensity, however, we would request the State Government to ensure that the violations for not wearing masks are detected and penalty collected as per the rules and regulations." It may be noted that the Tripura High Court on Friday made a few observations and suggestions for the consideration of the State Government which in Court's opinion "would enable the administration to handle the Coronavirus care better." The Division Bench of Chief Justice Akil Kureshi and Justice S. Talapatra put forth such suggestions and observations after perusing the affidavit dated 17th September 2020 filed by Dr. Subhasis Debbarma, Director to the Department of Health & Family Welfare, Government of Tripura in response to the Court's order dated 11th September 2020.
