  • Earlier, the Delhi Government counsel had said not a single non-COVID-19 patient has come to the court saying that he was denied treatment in the hospital due to 80 percent of ICU beds being reserved for COVID-19 patients.

    He had also stated that not even a single private hospital approached the High Court claiming that they suffered financial loss due to this reservation order.

  • Information

    Petitioner organization contends that the ICU beds were kept vacant

  • The petitioner organization's counsel had contended that the ICU beds were kept vacant and no payment was made by the government to the hospitals which were facing financial losses. He argued that there was no validity or permissibility to continue with the September 12 order.

  • The September 12 order of the Delhi Government was earlier stayed by the High Court on September 22 last year.

    However, a division of the High Court on November 12, 2020, vacated the stay order taking into account the change in circumstances since the time the stay order was passed.

    The daily number of COVID-19 cases in Delhi had reached over 8,000 in November.

    Delhi government's order is ex-facie perverse: Petitioner
  • The petitioner association had told the high court that the Delhi government's order shall be quashed as it was passed irrationally and is ex-facie perverse.

    The government, however, contended that the COVID-19 infection in Delhi has become critical recently and the cases are spiraling and 80 percent of ICU/HDU beds needed to be reserved for COVID-19 patients in the 33 private hospitals.
