THE Delhi High Court has directed the Delhi government to ensure that the advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) service is installed on the Delhi High Court premises before December 6, 2022. The division bench of Justices Manmohan and Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora passed this order while hearing a suo motu petition on the requirement of basic life support systems in public places.
Earlier, during the course of hearing on the issue, the standing counsel for the Delhi High Court had submitted a status report on behalf of the registrar general of the Delhi High Court. The report stated that ACLS facilities are unavailable at the Saket, Dwarka, Karkardooma and Rouse Avenue courts.
The Dwarka court, which neither has an ACLS or Basic Cardiac Life Support (BCLS) facility, will require a completely new infrastructure and manpower to establish such facilities, the report stated.
The report further said that the Patiala House Courts and the Rohini court do not have the physical infrastructure for setting up an ACLS centre. It stated that the Tis Hazari Court has one ACLS ambulance which is stationed daily to transport patients to nearby Delhi government-empanelled private hospitals. Similarly, the Rohini court also has one centralised accident and trauma ambulance with essential equipment, a driver and one emergency medical technician to provide 24-hour service.
During the hearing, the additional standing counsel (civil) for the Delhi government handed over the recommendation of the Delhi High Court Medical Committee for setting up ACLS facilities on High Court premises.

Till Infertility Do Us Part...

IS THAT LEGAL?
Ignorance of law is no excuse. Here are answers to frequently asked queries regarding matters that affect us on a day-to-day basis
The Big Lie
In America, The Big Lie is an idiom used by Donald Trump's opponents and the media to describe his constant gripe about election fraud. Now, it seems more suited to another Republican, Congressman George Santos (right), who has been facing growing calls to resign after he admitted fabricating parts of his resume and biography since his election in New York last year.
Flying into the Sunset
Over 50 years since the first and original jumbo jet, the Boeing 747, took to the skies and revolutionized air travel, the last of the legendary aircraft (right) was delivered to a freight charter company, bringing down the curtain on one of aviation's most successful products.
Star Crossed
Actor and producer Alec Baldwin is a Hollywood legend, having starred in a range of movies, award winning TV sitcoms, and theatre. He was most recently seen in Mission Impossible Fallout, which is an apt description of his current situation.
Walkouts in the UK
An estimated half a million workers have gone on strike, shutting down thousands of schools, public transport and border disruption. It is the biggest day of industrial action for more than a decade.
Myanmar's Misery
Two years after the military coup ousted the elected government led by Aung San Suu Kyi, the brutal crackdown by the junta on so-called \"insurgents\" and civilian protesters has reached a new level with the use of air strikes, a new and deadly tactic in the ongoing civil war.
AMERICA'S ANGST
From messy, divisive politics to a series of mass shootings, and now black officers brutally beating another black man to death as seen in bodycam videos, America's domestic convulsions are cause for serious introspection
JUSTICE LEAGUE
There are few judicial appointment procedures in the world that are completely bereft of the overarching presence of either the executive or the legislature, or both. In the end, the judge is left with all the powers vested in him/her by the constitution to uphold the rule of law, within an atmosphere of external influences
