Justice Manmohan has sought response of the Centre, Delhi government and also directed All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) to file its reply as to why the kid should not be given free treatment. The court has now fixed the matter for further hearing on July 24. The notice came on the plea filed by four-year-old Kulraj Singh, through his parents. In his plea, Singh said that he is suffering from aplastic anaemia and was denied treatment by AIIMS early this month on the ground that his parents were unable to pay the sum of Rs 10 lakh for the treatment.
While seeking direction to the government, his counsel Ashok Aggarwal informed the court that Kulraj, who was undergoing treatment since April 2013, is suffering from the life-threatening disorder and was in dire and immediate need of bone-marrow transplant. The counsel said that Delhi government also refused to bear the expenses of treatment.
The total cost of the treatment is estimated to be Rs 10 lakh while the average monthly income of the petitioner's family is Rs 8,000, the counsel said. He further said that the "hospital, Centre and the state government have a Constitutional obligation under Article 21 of the Constitution to bear the entire cost of the treatment of the patient, in order to save his life".
