In the present case, the court was hearing certain petitions filed by the Petitioners over the issues of shortage of oxygen for treating seriously ill COVID patients; black-marketing of oxygen cylinders; the testings, and infrastructure. Further, during the hearing, the Court was notified about the detention of four cryogenic tankers on their way to the national capital by the Rajasthan government. Pulling up the State of Rajasthan for this detention, the Delhi High Court observed that any interference in the Central Government’s plan for supplying medical oxygen in the Country would “tantamount to endangering hundreds of human lives, if not more.”
