The division bench, comprising Chief Justice Raghvendra Singh Chauhan and Justice A. Abhishek Reddy, was dealing with separate petitions by Dr M. Karuna and advocate Rapolu Bhaskar, questioning official apathy in tackling the dengue epidemic and in curbing mosquito breeders. “It is a lackadaisical, half-hearted effort which is not expected, and I am not satisfied with the government action,” the Chief Justice said. “The High Court has given enough time to curb the disease’s spread.” Referring to M. Jayamma, IInd additional 1st class judicial magistrate, Khammam, the Chief Justice said “Today, one of our judicial officers succumbed to dengue but if a tragedy strikes a bur-eaucrat’s family, God forbid, only then they will come to know our pain.” “It is unfortunate that judicial officer’s family members were doctors but they could not save her,” the Chief Justice said.
