The Supreme Court on Friday stayed the Delhi High Court order directing the Delhi government to sign an agreement with the Center for the implementation of the Ayushman Bharat scheme in the national capital.

Appearing in the Supreme Court, Delhi government’s lawyer Abhishek Manu Singhvi said that the High Court has redefined the sharing of power between the Center and the Delhi government. Singhvi, appearing before the apex court, said that they cannot force us. How can the High Court force me to sign an MoU with the Central Government on policy matters? The Delhi government has opposed the implementation of the Centre’s Ayushman Bharat scheme in the national capital, saying it would “undermine the health care initiatives already in place”.
Under the government’s flagship Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY), senior citizens above 70 years of age are entitled to cashless health coverage of up to Rs 5 lakh per family per year. It covers hospitalization expenses for a wide range of conditions, including major surgeries, chronic disease treatment and specialized health services that become more necessary as we age.
