Can’t send to war without gun: HC says vaccinate legal aid lawyers
New Delhi: 14.05.2021
Delhi High Court on Thursday asked the Centre and Delhi government whether legal aid lawyers and judicial officers in the 18-44 age bracket, working to implement Supreme Court orders to decongest prisons, can walk-in for vaccination shots at the centres set up in district courts, saying “you cannot send someone to war without a gun”. Justice Navin Chawla said lawyers and judicial officers were working to ensure that SC’s directions are implemented and need to be protected against the pandemic. The court was hearing a plea by Delhi State Legal Services Authority seeking directions to the Centre and Delhi government to urgently vaccinate judicial officers and legal aid lawyers. PTI
