New Delhi: The Supreme Court has dismissed a petition seeking directions to use red ant chutney to treat the coronavirus. Yes, last Thursday, the Supreme Court dismissed the petition and said, "It cannot order the use of traditional medicine or home remedies for covid-19 treatment across the country.'' In fact, last Thursday, a bench of Justices DY Chandrachud, Vikram Nath, and Hima Kohli said, "Look, there are many traditional medicines, even in our homes, traditional medicine. You also have to bear the consequences of these treatments yourself, but we cannot ask you to implement this traditional medicine all over the country.''

Let me tell all of you that the bench directed Odisha tribal community member Nayadhar Padhiyal to get an anti-Covid-19 vaccine and dismissed the petition filed by him. Meanwhile, advocate Anirudh Sangneria, appearing for the petitioner, said the Odisha High Court had dismissed the petition and challenged the verdict.

Last Thursday, the bench said, "The problem started when the High Court asked the Director General, Ministry of AYUSH and The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) to take a decision on the proposal to use red ant chutney as a treatment for Covid-19 within three months. We want to finish it. We do not want to hear a Special Permission Petition under Article 136 of the Constitution. Therefore, the Special Permission Petition is rejected.''

What has been said in the petition- Yes, in fact, the petition says that chutney made by mixing red ant and green chilies is used as a medicine in tribal areas of the country including Odisha and Chhattisgarh in fever, cough, cold, fatigue, respiratory problems, and other diseases. Not only that, the petition claimed that red ant chutney is rich in medicinal properties and contains formic acid, protein, calcium, vitamin B12, and zinc and needs to be tested in the treatment of covid-19.
