‘The Corona procedure is in effect.’
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, speaking on behalf of the Central Government, stated that the proper protocol is being followed at the project site. During the hearing, Tusshar Mehta questioned the petitioner’s intentions and stated that his public interest is highly selective. The construction activity is only 2 kilometers away from the project site, and they are unconcerned about the people there.
The petition was considered by a court consisting of Chief Justice DN Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh. After hearing all parties, the Bench set May 31 as the deadline for a decision.
