The last year order was given after two back-to-back fire incidents in Gujarat and then one in Maharashtra where several patients and health workers were burned alive.
Setting the tone for supervision near the hospital, senior advocate Dushyant Dave told of a frustrating but interesting experience of the family and relatives of his brother who suffered from Covid.
“The hospital that treats him raised the RS 17 Lakh bill and but they could not save him.
There should be several hats on the costs charged by the hospital and the patient must be saved because of being cheated.
Many borrow money for care of their relatives.
They are almost bankrupt.
Some hats at the hospital fees.
“The bench said,” The hospital has become a large industry.
Do we see hospitals such as the real estate industry or sectors that provide assistance to patients in trouble.
“The bench was told by Dave that the commission headed by justice ( RTD) Da Mehta has submitted a report but complained that there was no value because he forbade the victims of the hospital fires from participating in the process.
Appearing for Gujarat, Senior Advocate Maninder Singh said the state would submit a commission report in a closed cover before the court, because the report was needed to be submitted in assembly.
He also said that the state would submit an action taken by a report that determined the level of compliance with the recommendations carried out by the Commission.
However, the bench took the exception with the release of Government Gujarat Notifications July to June 2022 Compliance to build bye-law rules by Covid Hospital, which operates from some of the non-appropriate structures.
“If the notification breaks our order, see that it is pulled before the action is taken by SC.
If we find that the government violates our December 18th, we will bring it to the task,” it warned the Gujarat government.
SC said, “After Mandamus by SC, it cannot be rejected or canceled by executive notifications.
When you (Gujarat) say that no action to build bye-law violations will be taken until June 30 next year, whether you want more people Died of a similar incident? “General Tushar Mehta Solitor clarified that Covid Care Hospital had made fire compliance in accordance with the APEX trial order but to close the hospital for non-correction of BYE-LAW building as a pandemic means losing 30,000 beds intended to treat patients Covid.
While justice Shah turned heat on the Gujarat government, Chandrachud justice marked the incident of fire at Zakir Hussain Nashik Hospital where 13 covid patients and health workers were charred.
Justice Chandrachud said countries must open large stadiums for Covid care such as those carried out by Mumbai Municipal Corporation.
“The impression should not go to the public that only because of a pandemic, the illegality is ignored and the patient’s safety is given a back seat,” he said.
The bench gave a two-week Gujarat to submit a report on the commission, the action was taken and the logic behind the issuance of July 8 notification.
