NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday stayed the Allahabad high court order directing weeklong lockdown of 5 major cities of Uttar Pradesh.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta mentioned UP government’s appeal before CJI for urgent hearing against the Allahabad HC order directing lockdown in five cities Lucknow, Varanasi, Prayagraj, Kanpur and Gorakhpur till April 26 to break the lethal Covid chain.
A bench led by CJI S A Bobde has appointed senior advocate PS Narasimha as amicus curiae in the matter.
The Supreme Court will hear the matter again after 2 weeks.
Mehta said the state is already taking steps to contain spread of Covid but a complete lockdown would create immense administrative difficulties.
CJI Bobde on April 15 noted that Chief Justices of high courts had told him of women's reluctance to take up judge's positions due to 'domestic responsibilities.'
