Sum and substance of Delhi HC’s rulings centred around ‘No life should be lost due to lack of oxygen’
As we close another challenging year with a new variant of the Coronavirus rearing its head, it is time to express gratitude to some of our distinguished judges of the Delhi High Court whose timely intervention gave a push to the collective efforts to tide over the pandemic crisis during the year.
From lengthy court proceedings over weekends to urgent late-night hearings, the judges went beyond the call of duty to hear out the helpless public who turned to the judiciary when everything else failed.
When active cases of Covid-19 crossed 50,000 in Delhi in mid-April, the High Court revived a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) on COVID-19 testing and infrastructure.
