Telangana High Court on Tuesday instructed the State government to take steps to provide one sanitary napkin dispensing machine in every government junior college in the State.
A bench of Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice Anil Kumar Jukanti, passing the order while hearing a PIL petition, directed the government to file compliance report in the matter within three months. During the hearing, the CJ expressed displeasure over the State government not complying with the HC orders citing ‘the change of guard’ as the ground.
In different petitions, the government pleaders and special government pleaders had been requesting the HC to grant additional time to enforce its orders. They were submitting that it had become difficult to implement the HC directions as the government had changed recently and hence sought more time.
