A three-judge bench of the Apex Court, headed by Justice Dr Dhananjaya Y Chandrachud, and also comprising Justices Nageshwar Rao and Ravindra Bhat will hear the petition filed by the advocate Pathak who filed the plea on April 16. "On April 16, 2021, India reported more than 2 lakh new cases of COVID-19 positive patients. The Union Home Minister, the Chief Ministers of respective states and host of star campaigners could be seen flouting the COVID-19 norms, Pathak said in his petition. It is visibly clear that two separate and mutually inconsistent standards are being adopted by the authorities in dealing with the citizens of India, Pathak said in his petition.
