The Centre has moved the Supreme Court on the Delhi High Court’s contempt warning on the availability of oxygen in light of the Covid-19 crisis. During the hearing, it asked the government how it planned to meet Delhi’s oxygen demand and said that it should look to Mumbai as BMC had done a good job of handling the Covid situation.
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday termed the Covid situation in the country a national crisis, and observed that high courts are in a better position to monitor the pandemic situation within their territorial boundaries.

We are playing complementary role, if High Courts have any difficulty in dealing with issues due to territorial limitations, we will help, said the bench.
