New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday stayed the July 8 notification of the Gujarat government that gave clinics, nursing homes, and hospitals exemption till June 2022 to comply with the building bye-laws if they were operating from structures not compliant with the urban planning norms.
“You cannot overturn a judicial order seeking compliance of all norms, including fire safety rules, by all nursing homes, clinics and hospitals by an executive order,” said a bench of Justices D Y Chandrachud and M R Saha.
It also tossed out a petition by the Ahmedabad Medical Association which said abrupt closure of non-compliant healthcare facilities would shut out nearly 30,000 beds, which could prove to be a disaster for the general public, especially when experts are predicting a third wave of Covid-19 pandemic.
