Amicus curiae Sr Adv Meenakshi Arora is addressing court now.
She says with the help of experts, epidemologists, there can be a reasonable projection.
Justice Shah to SG: But your own affidavit says it 590MT and not 490?
SG: We increased it by 100 because the Court said so.
Solicitor General says 490 MT oxygen will suffice for Delhi.
SG- My perspective is that need is not because of shortage of supply but there is a systemic failure.

Jaideep Gupta, amicus : To my mind, it does not make sense as SG says that 700 figure is incorrect. If it was incorrect and 490 was required then there would be no shortage. But there is a shortage.
Jaideep Gupta, amicus curiae : The moment an order is passed on Audit, there will be a debate that the 700MT order is gone.

Amicus curiae Jaideep Gupta tells Supreme Court that the daily allocation of oxygen for Delhi should remain as 700 MT till a new formula for computing oxygen allocations is evolved.
