The Andhra Pradesh High Court, presided by Justice Venkata Jyothirmai Pratapa, quashed a disciplinary penalty on police constable G. Srikanth, citing lack of legally admissible evidence and procedural flaws in the inquiry process. The court emphasized that significant penalties require substantial proof and adherence to natural justice principles.
The Calcutta High Court has stayed the suspension of 59 junior doctors from RG Kar Medical College, issued after the rape and murder of a colleague. The court found the disciplinary actions violated natural justice, as only the state government can decide on such matters. Protests by junior doctors continue, highlighting concerns over intimidation within medical institutions.
