Can Manohar Parrikar's Medical Report Be Given In Sealed Cover: High Court

The Panaji Bench of the Bombay High Court today asked the Goa government if the medical report on the health condition of ailing Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar could be presented to the court in a sealed cover, while posting the matter for hearing on Wednesday.
While hearing a petition filed by a local politician Trajano D'Mello, who has sought to know the health status of Mr Parrikar, Justice RM Borde also asked the government advocate whether the Chief Secretary could argue on behalf of the Chief Minister for his right to privacy.
State Advocate General Dattaprasad Lawande is expected to appear before the court and argue on the points made by the court vis-a-vis the petition, when the hearing resumes on Wednesday morning.
D'Mello in his petition filed last month sought that the court direct State Chief Secretary Dharmendra Sharma to evaluate the former Defence Minister's health condition with the help of a panel of expert doctors and release the medical report to the public.
