HYDERABAD: The Telangana High Court on Thursday tagged a PIL filed by AICC spokesperson Dasoju Sravan Kumar seeking a direction to the Telangana government to constitute a State level committee for audit of deaths related to Covid-19, and to notify a Covid-19 death ascertaining committee (CDAC) for each district. A division bench comprising Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice A Rajashekar Reddy adjourned the matter to four weeks later.
