The SC on May 5 ordered the Centre to prepare a "comprehensive plan" for the supply of 700 MT of life-saving oxygen to Delhi on a daily basis
The Centre on May 6 told the Supreme Court that it has complied with its order and instead of 700 MT oxygen, it ensured a supply of 730 MT to Delhi for treating COVID-19 patients. The apex court, while staying contempt proceedings initiated by Delhi High Court against Central government officials for non-compliance of direction to supply 700 MT of oxygen to Delhi, had sought an answer from the Centre on May 6 morning. A Bench of Justices D.Y. Chandrachud and M.R. Shah was informed by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre, that a survey was conducted in 56 major hospitals of the national capital on May 4 and it revealed that they had significant stock of liquid medical oxygen (LMO).
