A bench of Chief Justice D N Patel and Justice Jasmeet Singh issued notice to the Health Ministry, Delhi government and the resolution professional seeking their stand by May 7 on the public interest litigation (PIL) filed by the doctor.
Delhi government additional standing counsel Santosh K Tripathi opposed the PIL saying it was an attempt by the petitioner to interfere with the ongoing resolution process.
Rakesh Saxena, who set up Febris Multispeciality Hospital under the parent company Durha Vitrak Pvt Ltd, said that considering the serious situation in the national capital -- grappling with a huge surge in COVID-19 infections and shortage of beds, oxygen and medicines -- his hospital be used to help people.
He has said the Centre or Delhi government can take over the hospital closed since 2019 and use the facilities there for COVID-19 patients.
