It is just a publicity interest litigation: HC
The Delhi High Court on Tuesday dismissed a petition seeking change of the existing protocol for treating COVID-19 patients with cost of ₹25,000. The court said the plea was not a public interest litigation (PIL) but rather it was a publicity interest litigation. The course of treatment was not fixed on some “ipse dixit” and was arrived at after discussions, tests and experiments by experts, a Bench of Chief Justice D.N. Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh said while rejecting the petition filed by two doctors and two research analysts. The petitioners had claimed that use of antipyretics, like paracetamol, antibiotics and steroids should be restricted to severe cases of COVID-19 and not at the initial stage of the infection.More Related News
