'UP healthcare Ram bharose': SC stays HC order
May 21, 2021 19:31
The Supreme Court on Friday stayed order of
Allahabad high court in which it said that entire medical system in
villages and small cities of Uttar Pradesh is at God's mercy ('Ram
bharose') amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
A vacation bench of Justices
Vineet Saran and BR Gavai said that the directions of high court passed
on May 17 shall not be treated as directives but an advice to Uttar
Pradesh government.
It said that high courts should refrain
themselves from passing directions which cannot be implemented.
On May
17, the high court while hearing a public interest litigation over the coronavirus spread and
the condition of quarantine centres in the state passed slew of
directions while taking into account the death of one Santosh Kumar
(64), who was admitted to an isolation ward at a Meerut hospital.
The
doctors there had failed to identify him and disposed of the body as
unidentified, according to a probe report.
Santosh had fainted at a
hospital bathroom on April 22 and efforts were made to revive him but he
died.
The hospital staff could not identify the dead and failed to
locate his file.
Thus, it was taken as a case of an unidentified body.
