A Division Bench of the Court comprising Justice Devinder Gupta and Justice A.K. Sikri said: "The Delhi State Aids Control Society is directed to resume supply and distribution of condoms in the red light area with immediate effect without insisting on utilisation certificates from the users.'' The direction came on a public interest litigation by Khairatilal Bhola, president of Bharatiya Patita Uddhar Sabha, seeking direction to the Society to resume supply and distribution of condoms to Capital's sex workers. While granting the interim relief to the petitioner, the Bench also issued notice to the Society seeking its reply to the petition within four weeks. The petitioner said that the Society had stopped supply and distribution of condoms in the red light area saying that users were not providing utilisation certificates. The Society had insisted on the petitioner to collect utilisation certificates from each individual user of condoms - thousands of them -- and submit the same to it for further supply. Counsel for the petitioner, Anil Kumar Jha, submitted that female users of condoms were not ready to certify the use of it and then hand over certificates to that effect to the petitioner for their submission to the authority.
