They submitted that the use of these hotels as extended COVID Hospitals would in fact, not be advisable. While passing its directions, the court stated that "the petitioners (Hotels) shall be entitled to depute one officer each to highlight their concerns to this Committee. "The Committee shall also be entitled to take the assistance of such other persons as may be deemed necessary in this exercise", the court added.
