The PIL stated that these medicines have not been certified as treatment for COVID-19 till date by any country.
“They are under trial and no country, including India, has issued licence to manufacture and sell them in the country.”
The plea further averred that more than 300 doctors have died in hospitals where these two medicines have been supplied and it amounted to “exploitation of public” due to the fear of death.
A Bench of the then Chief Justice of India SA Bobde and Justices AS Bopanna and V Ramasubramanian had issued notice in the plea in 2020.
