#SupremeCourt hearing Vedanta’s Plea seeking to allow the operation of its Tuticorin plant, Tamil Nadu for free production of medical oxygen which would fulfil shortage of Oxygen supply in Hospitals.

The plant has been closed in violation of environmental laws.
301- Senior Advocate CS Vaidyanathan- There is a law and order situation, they are finding it extremely difficult to...
CJI- Yesterday you didn’t tell us about this.
Vaidyanathan- State bonafidely tried...
CJI- Can you tell this on oath
Sr. Adv Colin Gonsalvis- Respondent no. 10 are people who are severely affected families, some have died, some have cancer
CJI- We have no problem if TN takes over the plant.

Colin- They have taken over the plant.
CJI- Then why are they not generating.
Colin- I’ll tell you, because they have a lot of oxygen they have in surplus that is why they don’t need to.
Mehta- The country is in bad need of oxygen, it is not that every state produce and use, it is center who allocates, the law and order can never be problem, why are we not using where every tonne matters
CJI- It is the directive principle of the Constitution, let Tamil Nadu produce.

@MoHFW_INDIA #OxygenShortage #Vedanta
CJI- When people are dying the State Govt says we will not open the plant, what is the reason for that? Just because of Vedanta they will not open the plant and let the people die. We have never heard of such an argument from a State Govt.
NDOH- Monday, Affidavit to be filed
