We require the State Government to file a report on compliance of the directions contained in sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of paragraph (I) quoted

supra. In the event compliances have not been effected till date, the State Government shall indicate the manner of compliance and the likely time

period therefor. The compliance report must be filed by a fortnight from date.

List these PIL petitions on 14th February 2022 once again.

5.

Since Dr. Warunjikar, learned advocate for one set of petitioners has highlighted that scarcity of drinking water in Court complexes is a continuing

problem, we request him to provide, on the adjourned date, a list of Court complexes where drinking water is scarce and which immediately require

our intervention to provide drinking water facilities. Copy of such list may be shared with Mr. Pable, learned AGP well in advance so that he can

obtain instructions and appropriate directions can be issued on the next date.
