Delhi | Thursday | 11th April, 2019

Summary:

The Delhi High Court has directed two different firms to spend Rs 10,000 each — the cost imposed on them for not filing replies in contempt cases — on installing two football goalposts and purchasing 40 footballs for children studying in a Delhi government school in South East Delhi. Twenty footballs each shall be for girls and boys, studying in morning and evening shifts,” the order said. “Let the respondents (Me Clinic and others) purchase 40 footballs of good quality for the benefit of children studying in Chandra Shekhar Azad government school. The court also sought the presence of Delhi government’s additional standing counsel Sanjoy Ghose, who assured compliance of the order. To obviate any injury to students, it shall be ensured that no stones or pebbles are littered in the field”..
