"Ex-Gratia Claim Denied: Delhi High Court Upholds Government Policy in Anganwadi Worker’s Case"

The *Case I am sharing today takes us back to the Covid-19 phase and involves interpreting the "Cabinet Decision dt. May 13, 2020", taken by the "Government of NCT Delhi".⬇️

➡️ Whether duties like distributing ration and participating in immunization camps constituted "COVID-19-related duties" as per the Cabinet Decision. [Definition of "#COVID19duty"]

➡️ Whether the nature of Late Mrs. Seema Khan's work during the pandemic met the criteria for compensation, which required direct involvement in COVID-19 relief efforts such as treatment, facilitation, or care of COVID-19 patients. [Eligibility for #exgratiacompensation]

➡️ The petitioner(daughter), Subata Khan, sought a directive for ex-gratia compensation of ₹1 crore under a **Cabinet Decision of dt. May 13, 2020. The claim arose from the COVID-19-related death of her mother, Late Seema Khan, an #AnganwadiWorker who actively participated in essential services during the pandemic.

◆ The **Cabinet decision approved ₹1 crore ex-gratia compensation for families of employees who died while on COVID-19 duty as defined by the policy, including roles such as patient care and containment zone duties.

➡️Late Seema Khan, an Anganwadi worker since 1982, provided essential services such as distributing nutritional food and participating in immunization camps during the pandemic.

► Contracted COVID-19 after performing these duties, tested positive on 6th April 2021, and succumbed to the virus on 17th April 2021.

➡️ It was contended on behalf of Late Seema Khan that her duties exposed her to infection, qualifying her as performing essential COVID-related services.

→ The denial of #compensation was arbitrary and lacked empathy, given the unprecedented hardships caused by the pandemic.

➡️The Group of Ministers (GoM) denied the claim, concluding that Late Seema Khan’s duties, while essential, did not meet the policy’s criteria of COVID-19-specific duties like patient care or containment zone work.

➡️The #DelhiHighCourt acknowledged the invaluable contributions of Anganwadi workers like Seema Khan but upheld the GoM’s conclusion.

→ It emphasized the distinction between routine essential services and COVID-19-specific duties as per the #CabinetDecision.

→ Seema Khan’s duties, while essential, were not in containment zones, patient care, or other defined COVID-19-specific tasks.

→ The exclusion of the late Seema Khan was based on the clear criteria within the Cabinet policy of the Government of NCT Delhi and was applied uniformly.

→  The government's compensation policy is framed for a specific purpose and applies only to those fulfilling the policy's conditions.

➡️The Delhi High Court dismissed the petition, holding that the GoM’s decision was not arbitrary and fell within the framework of the Cabinet policy.

States urged to create awareness, manage infodemic and ensure dissemination of factually correct information

Posted On: 20 DEC 2023 1:01PM by PIB Delhi

Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare today chaired a high-level meeting to review the COVID-19 situation in India and preparedness of public health system for surveillance, containment and management of COVID-19 in view of the recent spike in cases of COVID-19 in some states. He was joined by Prof. S P Singh Baghel and Dr Bharati Pravin Pawar, Union Ministers of State for Health and Family Welfare. Dr V K Paul, Member (Health), NITI Aayog was also present.

Underlining the challenge posed by the increasing number of COVID-19 cases in some countries across the world such as China, Brazil, Germany and United States, Union Health Minister noted the importance of being prepared and remaining alert against new and emerging strains of COVID-19, especially in view of the upcoming festive season. Underlying and reiterating that COVID is not over yet, he requested states to monitor emerging evidences of COVID-19 cases, symptoms and case severity to plan appropriate public health response.

Dr Mandaviya stressed the need for collective efforts between the Centre and the States to deal with the emerging situation in the spirit of “Whole of Government” approach. He directed for strengthening the surveillance system for whole genome sequencing of positive case samples to track the variants through Indian SARS-CoV-2 Genomics Consortium (INSACOG) network to ensure timely detection of newer variants, circulating in the country. This would facilitate undertaking of appropriate public health measures in a timely manner, he noted. States/UTs have been requested to ramp up testing and refer large number of samples of COVID-19 positive cases and pneumonia-like illness to INSACOG Genome Sequencing Laboratories (IGSLs) on a daily basis, for sequencing, to track new variants, if any.

The Union Health Minister urged all the states to remain alert, increase surveillance and ensure adequate stock of medicines, oxygen cylinders and concentrators, ventilators and vaccines, He asked officials to undertake mock drills every three months at both the Central and State levels to assess functionality of PSA plants, Oxygen concentrators and cylinders, ventilators, etc., and encouraged the sharing of best practices. He also urged states to create awareness on respiratory hygiene and ensure dissemination of factually correct information and counter fake news to manage infodemic and mitigate any panic. The Union Health Minister urged States/UTs to share information on cases, tests, positivity etc., in real time on the COVID portal to enable timely monitoring and prompt public health measures. He assured the states of all support from the Centre.

Through a presentation, Shri Sudhansh Pant, Secretary, Union Health Ministry briefed the Union Health Minister on the global COVID19 situation and the domestic scenario. It was informed that while active COVID cases in India are significantly less compared to the global scenario, in the last two weeks there has been a steep rise in active cases from 115 on 6th Dec 2023 to 614 on date. It was also noted that 92.8% of the cases are home isolated, indicating mild illness. No increase in hospitalization rates have been witnessed due to COVID-19, the cases that are hospitalized are due to other medical conditions – COVID-19 is an incidental finding. A rise in daily positivity rate has been observed in a few states like Kerala, Maharashtra, Jharkhand and Karnataka.

On the new JN.1 variant of SARS-CoV-2, it was informed that the variant is currently under intense scientific scrutiny, but not a cause of immediate concern. No clustering of cases has been observed in India due to JN.1 and all the cases were found to be mild and all of them have recovered without any complications.

Dr V K Paul reiterated the need for a whole-of-government approach to tackle with the challenge posed by the surge in COVID cases and the emergence of a new variant. He informed that the scientific community in India is closely investigating the new variant but stressed on the need for states to ramp up testing and strengthen their surveillance systems.

Dr Rajiv Bahl, Secretary, Department of Health Research and DG, ICMR informed that ICMR is currently working on genome sequencing of the new JN.1 variant. He urged states to monitor the COVID-19 scenario and increase RT-PCR tests but noted that there is no cause for panic.

State Health Ministers appreciated the support and guidance received from the Centre. They assured to increase testing and surveillance measures in view of the rising cases in some states.

Smt. L S Changsan, Addl. Secretary, Union Health Ministry; senior officials from the Health Ministry, ICMR, and NCDC were present in the meeting.
