It's a national health emergency, says Supreme Court

Deccan Chronicle  

New Delhi: Describing the prevailing Covid situation as a “health emergency”, the Supreme Court on Thursday gave the Centre 24 hours to present to it a national plan on the supply of oxygen, essential medicines and manner and method of administering vaccine. Emphasising on the necessity of a national plan on the supply of oxygen, essential medicines and vaccines, Chief Justice Sharad A. Bobde, heading a bench also comprising Justice L. Nageswara Rao and Justice S. Ravindra Bhat, took suo motu cognizance of the prevailing Covid situation which witnessed an unprecedented 3.14 lakh cases in the last 24 hours – the world’s largest single-day spike since the outbreak of the pandemic last year. Coupled with the top court taking suo motu notice of the worsening Covid crsis in the country, the top court on Thursday also agreed to hear mining giant Vedanta’s plea for operating its copper smelting plant in Thoothukudi in Tamil Nadu which has been shut down since 2018 on the ground that it would produce thousand tones of oxygen and give it free to treat patients. We are on the oxygen plant.” Saying that there is almost a national emergency, CJI Bobde told the Tamil Nadu government, “You don't put spokes in the solution.” Appointing senior lawyer Harish Salve as amicus curiae to assist the court in the matter, the bench said that it will consider at a later stage transferring to itself the Covid related matters being heard by different high courts across the country. As solicitor general Tushar Mehta sought a clarification that since top court has taken suo motu cognizance of the situation created by the surge in Covid cases in its second wave, should Centre now respond to the proceedings before the high courts, Justice Ravindra Bhat said, “You can submit the national plan to the high courts.
