SC to hear plea against Kerala HC guidelines for clinical establishments

The Supreme Court of India has agreed to hear a plea against a recent verdict by the Kerala High Court.

The High Court had issued guidelines for clinical establishments, such as hospitals, to display their services and package rates prominently.

The petitioners, which include a hospitals' association and an individual, argue against these guidelines.

The Supreme Court has asked the Kerala government and others to respond to the petition and has directed that no coercive action be taken against the hospitals until the next hearing.

The High Court's guidelines also include setting up grievance desks and registering complaints.

The Supreme Court will hear the case on February 3.
