New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Thursday lifted the interim stay order on the Delhi Government's decision to reserve 80% ICU beds in 33 private hospitals for Covid-19 patients in the national capital.
While passing the said order, a division bench of the high court presided by Justices Hima Kohli and Subramonium Prasad said, "In view of the present situation in Delhi, the spiralling cases and the ground reality which is different from how it was when the stay order was passed, the stay order on the reservation is vacated."
The bench however added that no person in a health emergency can be allowed to run from pillar to post when there is a bed available.
It also directed that nodal officers are in a position to relax the norm of 80% for these hospitals without strictly adhering to the Delhi government decision.
The court has also asked the Delhi government to file an additional affidavit providing material information before the single judge bench.
