If we look at the same incident in another aspect, the doctor who tried to save the patients by trying to buy oxygen from his own money and did all that he could to prevent injustice was removed from the job. Here, what we have to take note is whether by trying to remove injustice from the society has consequences that would be unfavourable in trying to achieve injustice which would make it more unjust for an individual when there is no injustice caused by him or her? In another landmark judgement of the Supreme Court, the court ruled that the right to privacy is a fundamental right and it comes with birth and goes away through death, but if we analyse it, was justice served or was it a mere argument?
