Supreme Court is hearing plea seeking ex-gratia monetary compensation to the families of deceased who have succumbed to the pandemic of COVID-19.
Justice MR Shah observes that some doctors are preparing fake certificates to justify COVID deaths
SG Tushar Mehta: this court may direct that whoever applies gets the compensation, but there may be a direction that there should be a fixed date and it cannot be an endless process
Justice Shah to amicus curiae Gaurav Aggarwal: it cannot be endless & it may continue for 6 years
Justice Shah to Sr Adv R Basant: please suggest on how can we curb the issue of fake certificates being issued by Doctors. It may take away someone's real opportunity
Matter adjourned to next Monday
