In CBI Probe Plea For COVID Deaths, Centre & Delhi To Reply in 6 Weeks

The Delhi High Court on Monday granted additional time of six weeks to the Centre and Delhi government to file replies on a plea seeking CBI probe into the death of 21 COVID-19 patients at Jaipur Golden Hospital in New Delhi in April due to shortage of oxygen.

Justice Rekha Palli said,”By that time things will be clearer. We will see. You have approached the Metropolitan Magistrate also.”

Senior advocate Rahul Mehra and standing counsel Kiritman Singh, appearing for Delhi government and the Centre respectively, sought to file their responses to the petition.

Advocate Rahul Mehra said, “The aspect of criminal investigation was pending consideration before a magisterial court.”
