A bench of Chief Justice DN Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh said it would hear the plea on March 22.
A plea by a 12-year-old on Monday urged the Delhi High Court to direct the Centre to provide a roadmap for vaccinating children 12 years and below against COVID-19.
A bench of Chief Justice DN Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh said it would hear the plea on March 22.
Tia Gupta (12) and a woman have submitted that presently vaccination is being administered to 15-17 age group and no roadmap is there to vaccinate children below 12 years of age.
"We have not been able to go to school in the past two years and lot of children are now getting stressed at home. The government has not given any roadmap and we see children in other countries go to school and getting vaxxed as Pfizer vaccine has come about for children 12 and above. So I just raised a question as to when is our country going to give us a roadmap," Tia Gupta told NDTV when asked about why she has petitioned the court.
