The Delhi government Thursday informed the Delhi High Court that it has withdrawn the order to create of COVID-19 facilities for judges, staff and their families in a five star hotel here.

Even a copy of the said order was not marked to anyone of them, a source said.
During the hearing, the Delhi High Court bench of Justices Vipin Sanghi and Rekha Palli said, No communication has been made to anyone in this regard.

This is very very misleading. The high court has not made any such request for setting up beds in any such five star hotel, the bench said and added that the order passed by the sub-divisional magistrate was wrong as the state cannot create a facility exclusively for a class.
