    India's records for Covid cases achieved what the nation can even expect in 'Olympics'. The Supreme Chief Justice Bobde is the previous decision on fail to implement 'gag' order against media about 'Tablig Jamat' has reverse his own decision buckling under the pressure from BJP government and given the permission of 'Puri' rath yatra.

    The way the Ratha Yatra of Lord Jagannath in Puri, Odisha, is being handled, it’s likely to remain a significant issue as the novel coronavirus epidemic rages through India, assisted by poor state planning and poorly implemented public health protocols like physical distancing. After the Chief Justice of India reversed his own decision in a matter of days to allow the chariot to roll on the Grand Road of Puri, the Government of Odisha, the Union government and the Supreme Court of India now stand accused of allowing a bad problem to become much worse.

    In the famous yatra attended by one and million devotees will be new epicenter of the pandemic due to Courts, government and political nexus?

    Is Chief Justice Bobde is the the path of his predecessor like Ranjan Goggi?
