When Ieshdhan sought framing of "unified guidelines to abolish mosquitoes which cause mosquito-borne diseases", the bench said, "we do not think any court can pass such direction to the authorities to eliminate mosquitoes from the country".

The petitioner told the court that a similar plea was also dismissed in 2015 by the top court, which had later, on its own, taken cognisance of the issue in the matter related to dengue and other vector-borne diseases in Delhi.

The petitioner also said that the government authorities should be made accountable for the loss of life due to such diseases.
