A bench of Chief Justice SA Bobde and Justices AS Bopanna and V Ramasubramanian asked the Centre to consider the request of lawyers for priority in vaccination as their livelihood depends on contact with people and their apprehension of getting the infection is genuine

Supreme Court
The Supreme Court Thursday said journalists’ work can be done without coming in contact with people unlike lawyers and asked the Centre to consider the legal fraternity`s request for priority in COVID-19 vaccination saying their livelihood depends on direct interaction with their clients.
The Centre opposed creating a separate class of lawyers and said that though it is not opposed to the legal fraternity members but tomorrow journalists and banking sector employees may also come forward seeking priority in vaccination.
