If any ventilators supplied by the Centre to Maharashtra are found to be defective, then these devices should be replaced, the Bombay High Court said on Wednesday, while asserting that it will not allow experiments to be carried out on Covid-19 patients as majorly repaired ventilators may lead to loss of life.

Justices R V Ghuge and B U Debadwar of the Aurangabad bench of the high court was hearing a bunch of petitions on issues related to the Covid-19 pandemic.
