SAURABH SHARMA VERSUS SUB-DIVISIONAL MAGISTRATE (EAST) & ORS

Delhi High Court (Single Judge)

W.P.(C), 6595 of 2020, Judgment Date: Apr 07, 2021

A vehicle which is moving across the city, even if occupied at a given point in time by one person, would be a public place owing to the immediate risk of exposure to other persons under varying circumstances. Thus, a vehicle even if occupied by only one person would constitute a ‘public place’ and wearing of a mask therein, would be compulsory. The wearing of a mask or a face cover in a vehicle, which may be occupied by either a single person or multiple persons is thus, held to be compulsory in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic
