By Courts Motion

UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following O R D E R

Ms. Aishwarya Bhati, Additional Solicitor General, has appeared for Dr. Tara Arya, Director General of the Medical Health and Family Welfare Department, Uttarakhand and submits that she will file a better affidavit, apprising this Court as to under what circumstances, the Committee in its meeting dated 07.08.2024, made the suggestions, which have been reduced in Para 3 of the Affidavit dated 12.08.2024.

We must record our strong displeasure, not only in the manner in which the affidavit has been filed, but also the contents recorded in the meeting. Prima facie**, we are of the opinion that it amounts to the Contempt of Court.**

Purely in the interest of justice, we have given time to Ms.Aishwarya Bhati to apprise this Court by filing a better affidavit. Let the needful be done within four weeks.

Personal presence of Dr. Tara Arya is dispensed with for the time being, however, this shall be subject to the orders passed on the next date of hearing.

It is reported that some of the States have not filed the requisite affidavits. Ms. Aishwarya Bhati has assured this Court that efforts shall be made to get those affidavits within six weeks.

Re-list the matter on 20.12.2024.
