Further, the court observed:

"In any civilised society if public health system is
not able to meet the challenges and people die for want
of proper medication, it means there has been no
proper development. Health and education go side-by-side."

"Those in the helm of affairs of government are to be blamed for the present chaotic health problems.. "

The court also took note of the fact that the CM of UP is under self isolation.

"If popular government has its own political compulsions in not checking public movements during the pandemic, we cannot remain mere passive spectators."

The Court also noted that "even the supply of life saving anti viral drug namely Remdesivir is being provided only on the recommendations of VIPs."
