A Bench of Justices Vipin Sanghi and Rekha Palli of the Delhi High Court said that in case supply of Medical Oxygen to Delhi is blocked, then the local authorities responsible for its movement shall be held criminally liable for the same.
The Bench was hearing a writ petition filed by Saroj Super Specialty Hospital, Rohini seeking urgent critical supply of oxygen to it. During the hearing, another hospital appeared before the Bench saying that they have only 3 hours of Oxygen left.
"We direct that non-compliance will invite criminal action," the High Court said.
