ORDER

[Order of the Court was made by THE HON'BLE CHIEF JUSTICE] The repeated interference either by citizens without any knowledge or understanding of the matters or even by the Court in dealing with the matters of emergency is totally uncalled for.

2. In its wisdom and as a measure of dealing with the alarming second surge of the pandemic, the State converted a superspeciality hospital or a part thereof to exclusively treat Corona patients. The petitioner's complaint in such regard is completely unacceptable. The petitioner can only be regarded as a busybody trying to interfere with the State dealing with the medical emergency.

3. W.P.(MD).No.2612 of 2021 is dismissed. The petitioner is spared the costs.
