#maharashtragoverment informs #BombayHighCourt that the circulars pertaining to the prohibition on people not fully vaccinated from travelling in public transport will not be withdrawn.
CJ Dipankar Datta: You are insisiting that everyone must get vaccinated. You say that vaccination is not mandatory and yet you create a situation where the people are deprived of these benefits.
The doctors can only advice but what about fundamental rights of people.
The Bench was informed that a new SOP has been issued on March 1, 2022 which are yet to be published which permit only fully vaccinated persons from boarding local trains and visit public places.
#SupremeCourt is hearing a plea seeking a declaration that mandating vaccination for COVID-19, in any manner whatsoever, even by way of making it a pre-condition for accessing any benefits or services, is a violation of rights of citizens and unconstitutional
Adv Prashant Bhushan: There were phase 3 trials of these vaccines at all. In absence of informed consent the mandate of such vaccines is unconstitutional @pbhushan1#VaccineMandate
Bhushan: increase in hospitalisation is rampant in countries where vaccination has been there. vaccine is a a matter of individual decision and it is I who will be ill due to this virus. whether i take medication or not is my absolute right
