Karnataka HC Wants State To Modify State Level Committee Constituted To Supervise Covid-19 Hospitals As It Failed To Discharge Its Duties [Read Order]
Live LawThe Karnataka High Court has asked the state government to consider modifying the constitution of the State Level Expert Committee constituted based on the directions issued by the Supreme Court to supervise Covid-19 Hospitals, on finding out that it has not discharged its duties properly. The court noted "This tall claim made by the State Level Committee cannot be accepted for the simple reason that there is nothing placed on record that a large number of hospitals in all the districts were visited with a view to ascertain whether adequate facilities are available." Accordingly it directed the government to immediately take a call on activating the State Level Committee and the District Level Committees for ensuring that they perform their duties.
