Patna High Court on Tuesday made a serious remark and slammed the Bihar Health Department. The reaction came out after the department did not file a counter affidavit in the High Court for the fourth consecutive time.
On Tuesday, a division bench comprising Chief Justice Sanjay Corol and Justice S Kumar heard a half-dozen cases filed on the coronavirus. The court regretted the government’s stand and said that they are privately aware of how frightening the condition of COVID patients is in the state.
