The Supreme Court Today (Sept 17) will hear matters linked to the rape and murder of a doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. Between the last hearing and this one, a big development is the CBI slapping evidence tampering charge on Dr Sandip Ghosh and police officer Abhijit Mondal. WB CM announced that most of the doctors’ demands were met. Kolkata Police Chief Vineet Goyal will resign, and Deputy Commissioner Abhishek Gupta will be removed, along with two senior health officials.
The President of SCBA, Adish Aggarwala, Today assured the Delhi High Court of a general body meeting within two months to discuss amending rules to reserve two Executive Committee positions for female lawyers. This comes after a plea was dismissed by Justice Sudhir Kumar Jain, urging SCBA to arrange the meeting for gender representation concerns.
