While hearing the brutal rape and murder case of the Kolkata trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College Justice Pardiwala said, ‘I have never seen such a case in 30 years’.
Notably, the CBI submitted its report on the Kolakta rape and murder case today to Supreme Court. The Supreme Court resumed hearing pleas at around 10:30 am today, in connection with the rape and murder case, of the 31-year-old trainee doctor who was found dead at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
On Thursday CJI Chandrachud urged protesting doctors to resume the work and assure them that no adverse actions will be taken against them by the hospitals.
The Supreme Court bench added, ‘Let them all return to work. We will pass some general order. Once doctors resume duties, we will prevail upon authorities to not take adverse actions. How will public administrative structure run if they don’t resume work?’
The Supreme Court bench further added, ‘If there is difficulty after that, then come to us, but let them first report to work’. Further, the CJI also assured the medical profession of getting heard by the SC-constituted National Task Force to recommend safety measures for healthcare professionals.
Meanwhile, the Federation of Association of Medical Associations of India (FAIMA) and Delhi Medical Association had filed interventions seeking the inclusion of resident doctors in the National Task Force.
