The court directed the state government to file affidavits in both cases. The court has set November 3rd for the case of the Amar Shaheed Thakur Vishwanath Shahdev District School and its hostel. The hearing for the case of the elderly man, unable to find an ambulance, carrying his ailing wife on his shoulders has been scheduled for October 13th. Advocate Piyush Chitresh presented the government's case.
It is noteworthy that the High Court bench comprising Chief Justice Tarlok Singh Chauhan and Justice Rajesh Shankar, taking serious note of the news published in a newspaper, took suo motu cognizance and converted both cases into public interest litigation.
The condition of the hostel had deteriorated.

The High Court had taken suo motu cognizance of another case based on a newspaper report. When the ambulance was not available, Sabar, carrying his ailing wife on his shoulders, set out on foot. The news was taken seriously.
