“This could be dangerous,” the judge added.
During the course of the hearing, Samant pointed out that on April 13, the Maharashtra government had issued orders under the #BreakTheChain campaign and had also provided for fines for not wearing masks.
“Then on April 21, a Government Resolution (GR) was issued notifying the hike in fines for marriages, public events etc in breach of Covid rules,” Samant said.
At this, the chief justice asked Samant to place on record, on the next date of hearing, as to how is the state implementing the GR. “Also, let us know how much fine is collected till now,” CJ Datta ordered.
Meanwhile, Justice Kulkarni sought the state to attend to those living on pavements and begging on streets to survive.
