MUMBAI: The Bombay High Court November 1 took the Maharashtra government to task over an affidavit of its health department regarding implementation of bio-medical waste disposal in hospitals across the state.
A division bench of Chief Justice Swatanter Kumar and Justice Dhananjay Chandrachud also appointed two lawyers, Uday Warunjikar and Shiraz Rustomji, as court commissioners to inspect 10 hospitals each within Mumbai.
The High Court was miffed over by the fact that the affidavit of Director, Health Services, Prakash Doke, was silent on whether the government had dealt with objections raised by the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board on waste disposal.
