Goa govt opposes PIL for declaring CM’s health status in HC
"The entire petition is lacking in any material particulars and as such is a roving and a fishing inquiry which prima facie is inadmissible," the affidavit said. The HC will hear the matter on December 10

The petitioner’s claim of “administrative collapse” is absolutely unsubstantiated, vague and is entirely based on hearsay which cannot be the basis of a PIL, it said. “The petitioner, through this PIL, indirectly seeks to assail the right to privacy of the CM, as an individual,” the affidavit read.

In his plea, D’Mello had raised apprehension that Parrikar’s signatures on several official documents are being forged. “Despite physically incapacitated and bed-ridden in the ICU, Parrikar has breached constitutional trust by virtue to remain as CM despite the fact that he is physically and mentally incapable of discharging his constitutional obligations,” D’Mello’s affidavit said.

The chief secretary stated that there is no genuine grievance by the petitioner to substantiate his allegation of administrative collapse in Goa. He stated that the chief minister chairs cabinet meetings regularly, meets legislators and takes decisions on various matters concerning the state. “The petitioner has relied upon only those press items which suit him. The petitioner is therefore guilty of suppressing vital information from this court.
