The Delhi High Court today deferred hearing on a petition filed by the Resident Doctors Association, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and others against Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev for his derogatory remarks against allopathy and allopathic doctors regarding the treatment of Covid-19.

The Doctors Association alleged that Baba Ramdev was creating doubts in the minds of general public regarding the safety and efficacy of allopathic treatments, as well as the Covid-19 vaccines

A habeas corpus writ petition has been filed in the Allahabad High Court, seeking the release of an 82-year-old man from the custody of TB Sapru hospital in Prayagraj, where he was admitted for the treatment of Covid-19, but purportedly went missing.

The Bombay High Court Bench of the Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice KK Tated has said, “to urge the Bench to direct the State to provide for treatment of a patient free of cost, in these circumstances, appears to us to be preposterous.”
