The Indian Medical Association (IMA) today announced its intention to file an interlocutory application in the Supreme Court’s suo motu case on the rape and murder of a junior doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The IMA aims to engage with MPs to push for central legislation addressing violence against healthcare workers and has requested urgent action on a central law to protect healthcare professionals.
The Madras High Court invalidated a Tamil Nadu amendment to the Wakf Act, ruling that the state government’s power infringed upon Wakf properties’ protection under the Constitution. The decision affects Wakf administration in Tamil Nadu and affirms the supremacy of central law over state amendments in religious trust property management, a win for autonomy advocates.
