A petition was moved in the Hon’ble Delhi Court, to have some constructive approach from the Ministry of Health External Affairs, to get assisted for availing a tourist visa from the High Commission of Australia. The whole sole objective of filing this petition was to provide better medical assistance to the petitioner’s son, who is residing in Australia.

The petition has been moved by a widow, to procure help for a Tourist Visa from the Australian High Commission as her son is suffering from End-Stage Renal Failure and is in a critical condition. He is even admitted to St Vincent Hospital, Melbourne on June 8. The plea is solely directed towards the Union of India, via the Ministry of External Affairs to assist the petitioner from getting Visa Visitor (Tourist) subclass 600 from Australian High Commission.

Her plea clearly stated that despite such critical condition of her son suffering from such deadly disease, there has been no such positive response to her applications from both, the Ministry of External Affairs, India & the Australian High Commission. The petitioner also requested help, from the Ministry of External Affairs by contacting and supervising the hospital authorities in the ongoing medical treatments.
