and &#8220;unconstitutional&#8221; and infringed the fundamental rights of the individual.<\/p>\n<p>It sought direction to the Uttar Pradesh government and the hospitals to make arrangements to shift the patients who are normal and fit for discharge from the hospital to any other secure place like old age homes.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211;
