Supreme Court Demands Amendments in Medic Case

The ongoing strike by junior doctors in West Bengal continues as they seek further action from the state government on their demands, including increased security measures and the removal of specific officials. The Supreme Court has taken issue with a gender-discriminatory advisory from the West Bengal health department and demanded its amendment. Additionally, the court rejected a plea to stop live streaming its proceedings regarding the rape-murder case at RG Kar Hospital, despite concerns from senior advocate Kapil Sibal about reputational damage and threats to women lawyers. The court emphasized the importance of public transparency and assured the safety of all lawyers involved. Furthermore, the Supreme Court expressed disturbance over the CBI's findings in its investigation of financial irregularities linked to the case, urging continued thorough investigation.
