Acting upon two petitions difficult the Centre’s Covid-19 vaccination coverage, a division bench of Kerala High Court on Tuesday issued notices to the state, Centre, the National Disaster Management Authority and vaccine producers Serum Institute of India (SII) and Bharath Biotech.
The petitions have been moved by IUML legislator M Ok Muneer and All India Lawyers’ Union state common secretary C P Pramod, who challenged the twin pricing of the vaccines. The bench of justices Ashok Menon and Murali Purushothaman sought replies by May 4 however refused an interim keep on the vaccination coverage, as demanded by the petitioners.
While serving the notices, the courtroom made it clear that no orders can be handed because the matter is below the consideration of the apex courtroom.
Arguing in opposition to the coverage, Muneer stated states and the Centre have the identical constitutional duty to guard the well being of residents.
