The Delhi High Court on Friday remarked that the “State has failed..to protect right to life of citizens” as it expressed anguish over information on the death of a COVID-19 patient whose family had been pleading for an ICU bed for the last three days. “We may record our complete helplessness in the situation. We can only say that the state has failed to protect the Right to Life of people guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution,” a Bench of Justice Vipin Sanghi and Justice Rekha Palli said. During the hearing, an advocate sought the help of the Bench saying that his relative urgently needed an ICU bed as the COVID-19 patient’s vitals were critical and he was in the emergency ward of a hospital.
