Supreme Court to Hear Case on Doctor’s Tragic Death in Kolkata on September 30
The Supreme Court of India has scheduled a hearing for September 30 regarding the rape and murder of a doctor at RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata, West Bengal. The hearing was rescheduled from September 27 at the request of the West Bengal Government’s counsel.
In the last hearing on September 17, Senior Counsel Kapil Sibal, representing the State of West Bengal, informed the court that the Chief Minister assured the West Bengal Junior Doctors’ Front that no punitive action would be taken against doctors returning to work.
A bench led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, along with Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, expressed concern over the Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) report on the incident. The court noted discrepancies in the seizure list and other issues but decided not to disclose details to avoid jeopardizing the investigation.
Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal raised concerns about the live streaming of the proceedings, citing threats to lawyers, including women in his chamber. The court assured that it would intervene if any threats were made.
