Jaipur, Jan. 7 -- Rajasthan high court (Jaipur Bench) on Tuesday issued a notice to the state government for not framing the rules under the Right to Health Act which was passed in 2022. A division bench presided over by acting chief justice Sanjeev Prakash Sharma and justice Sangeeta Sharma passed the order while hearing a PIL filed by a Chittorgarh-based doctor Dr Narendra Kumar Gupta. "This PIL has been filed to frame rules under Section 17 of the Rajasthan Right to Health Act, 2022, and present them before the State Legislature. Rajasthan Right to Health Act, 2022 mandates the State Government to frame rules and regulations. However, it is disappointing that more than 2.5 years have passed since the Act received the Honorable Governor's assent, and the State Government has yet to establish these rules or regulations. Due to this failure, the Act is rendered inoperative and the residents of Rajasthan have been deprived of the statutory benefits guaranteed to them," read the petition. It further added: " The failure defeats the purpose of the Act and violates the mandate of Sections 16 and 17. That the Act's preamble emphasizes the initiation of a new era in public health and the right of every citizen to live a dignified life, which is intrinsically linked to their physical and mental health, as well as social welfare." It demanded the court to take cognisance of the "negligence and non-compliance of the government with their legal duties." The act was passed by Congress government on March 21, 2023 aiming to ensure right to free medical emergency care for any patient of the state without any prior payment in both government and private hospitals....
