Heartening to note dip in COVID-19 cases in T.N., says Madras HC Chief Justice

The Hindu  

It is heartening to note that the number of COVID-19 positive cases in the State is on the decline. Within hours after Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee and Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy observed so in an interim order, the State government withdrew a decision taken by it on January 4 to increase the permitted seating capacity in cinema halls from 50 to 100%. When a public interest litigation petition challenging the government’s decision was listed before the first Division Bench, senior counsel Satish Parasaran contended that the State government’s decision was in contravention to the advisory issued by the Centre. However, Advocate General Vijay Narayan told the court that the State government had decided to permit 100% occupancy in cinema halls because the spread of COVID-19 was more or less under control in the State and the number of positive cases had been dropping steadily. After recording the A-G’s submission that a similar PIL petition had been filed in the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court too where an interim order of status quo had been granted till Monday, the first Division Bench too ordered status quo until further orders.
