Delhi Health Minister and Secretary warned of jail time if they fail to enforce court orders on unauthorized pathology labs.

The Delhi High Court has warned Delhi's Health Minister, Saurabh Bhardwaj, and Health Secretary, S.B. Deepak Kumar, that they could face jail time if they fail to enforce court orders aimed at shutting down unauthorised pathology labs in the national capital. The court is concerned about a power struggle between the Minister and the Health Secretary, which they believe should not hinder the execution of court directives. They have been ordered to collaborate closely to address the issues raised by the petitioner and establish a fair and effective regulatory system for pathology labs as soon as possible.
