W/P(Civil No 607 OF 2022) , arising out of Public interest litigation U/A 32 of Indian
Constitution.
Decided On : 14/08/2024
v/s
Prior History : From the judgement and order dated 14/08/2024 of the Supreme Court .
With State of this case (JACOB PULIYEL v. UNION OF INDIA) are on the view that , the
state violate the basic structure of constitution under article 32 of the constitution.
I hold that, the government's COVID-19 vaccine policy violates the petitioner's fundamental
rights, including the right to privacy, right right to informed self-determination, right to life,
right to health. The policy's lack of transparency, inadequate disclosure of information, and
restrictive access to vaccine data have hindered the petitioner's ability to make informed
decisions about their health. The government's failure to provide accurate and timely
information about vaccine availability, distribution, and adverse effects has exacerbated the
crisis, leading to confusion, mistrust, and further violations of the petitioner's fundamental
rights.
The government's actions should be guided by the principles of reasonableness, fairness, and
justice, and should prioritize individual liberty, dignity, and well-being.
The mandatory vaccination policy without proper evaluation, transparency, and informed
consent violates the petitioner's fundamental rights, including:
Right to life, right to personal liberty, right to privacy, right to bodily autonomy, right to
informed self determination
The government's actions have resulted in a gross violation of these fundamental rights, and the
petitioner has established that no alternate and efficacious remedy is available. Release
segregated trial data, minutes of meetings, and documents related to vaccine approvals. Ensure
transparency in vaccine evaluation, approval, and distribution processes. Provide accurate and
timely information about vaccine availability, distribution, and adverse effects. Reform the
policy to ensure equal access to vaccines, healthcare, and information. Protect individual
autonomy and bodily integrity by allowing informed decisions about vaccination choices.
The government's actions should be guided by the principles of reasonableness, fairness, and
justice, and should prioritize individual liberty, dignity, and well-being.
