collective effort required to overcome odds, it says
The Supreme Court on Wednesday said it would examine how far courts could intervene in State policy during times of crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic “when collective effort” was required to overcome odds. “Can the court tell the Executive to get the formula [for vaccines] from companies abroad or decide the number of ventilators... These are times of crisis when everybody has to be cautious... Is this when court should get into all this? Executive has the benefit of experts with their expert knowledge... We will hear submissions on how far constitutional courts should go into these matters... How much we should restrain ourselves,” Justice Vineet Saran and Dinesh Maheshwari observed orally.More Related News
