  • Dave- We have treated people who contracted a disease like criminals. Refers to Tablighi jamaat issue and how they were incriminated for having a disease.

    The kind of hatred that was generated by media. CJI took cognizance, and asked the govt to look into it. But the matter has not been listed yet.

    Will we criminalize someone for having a disease?

    Your lordships healing touch was needed. You could have directed the govt to not register such complaints. There were many other matters of Habeas Corpus and bail which were not taken up. Anyone could be anguished. Bhushan was also anguished.
