PIL filed in Supreme Court seeking reduction of non COVID-19.
A Public Interest Litigation is filed in the Supreme Court of India seeking directions to the Government of India, all the State Governments, all the Union Territory Governments and other concerned authorities to take immediate steps to relax / reduce non-covid-19 related medical healthcare treatment services at all public hospitals.
The petition is being filed by the Sourjya Das (petitioner in person) who is an Advocate and a member of Calcutta High Court Bar Association. The petitioner is also a freelance editor / columnist and provides pro-bono legal services to various ethnic communities or tribes across India and to financially weak citizens of India.
The petition states that the restrictions imposed on public life by the Government following the COVID-19 outbreak has hampered public life in such a way that the public does not know when things will get back to normal or when offices, shops and usual means of income would resume, thus financially empowering members of the public on a daily basis. It is necessary to consider that at such times, numerous members of the public will require non-covid-19 / non- coronavirus related medical treatment services like chemotherapy, emergency transplants, colonoscopy, various tests and other various prescribed medical treatments which are of immediate necessity to sustain the life of a member of the public.
