On Wednesday, the Supreme Court deferred for two weeks hearing on a PIL seeking imposition of financial emergency in India to deal with the situation arising out of Covid-19 outbreak.

Filed by the Centre for Accountability and Systemic Change (CASE), the PIL contended that Covid crisis can’t be managed as per Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code or a notification under the Disaster Management Act, 2005 or provisions of the Epidemic Disease Act, 1897.

The plea read:

"It is a global epidemic which should not be handled by district level geographical barriers and it must be fought by public and govt both in unified manner as per emergency provisions of Constitution of India."

CASE contended that if Centre issued orders under Article 360 (3) of the Constitution, then it may be binding on the states.
