New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday refused to entertain a PIL for a probe into the death of over 60 children at the Baba Raghav Das Medical College Hospital in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh due to lack of oxygen supply.
However, the National Human Rights Commission in a suo motu cognisance of the incident has issued notice to the Chief Secretary of UP seeking the government’s response in four weeks.
A bench comprising Chief Justice J.S. Khehar and Justice D.Y. Chandrachud while declining the plea of a lawyer, who mentioned the issue before it for a SIT probe, asked him to approach the Allahabad High Court with his grievances.
The CJI told the counsel the authorities are handling the situation and the grievances, if any, have to be raised before the High Court concerned.
