Hyderabad High Court threat to fine bureaucrats

For more than two hours, a division bench of Chief Justice Raghavendra Singh Chauhan and Justice Annireddy Abhishek Reddy questioned Chief Secretary Sunil Kumar Joshi, principal secretary Aravind Kumar, GHMC commissioner Lokesh Kumar, who were in the court. Angered that the court’s directions to handle the dengue epidemic were ignored, he said, “If this attitude continues, we will take it up suo motu as a contempt case.” The court warned that it would impose a Rs 5 lakh penalty on IAS officers if any dengue death was recorded after the end of November. To this, Justice Chahan said, “What if the state was affected by an earthquake?” The court directed the government to constitute a committee comprising the principal secretaries of medical and health,municipal administration, commissioner of health and family welfare, director of public health, joint director of the State Epidemics Cell, and director, Institute of Preventive Medicine.
