The official notice released by the apex court, reads, “Hon'ble the Chief Justice of India will not be holding the Court on 05.09.2024 (Thursday). Hence, sitting of Chief Justice's Court comprising Hon'ble the Chief Justice, Hon'ble Mr. Justice J.B. Pardiwala and Hon'ble Mr. Justice Manoj Misra stands cancelled and the matters listed before this Bench will not be taken up for hearing.”
It is, however, not yet announced when the hearing will be scheduled.
Meanwhile, massive protests are taking place across Kolkata seeking justice for the victim.
The protesting doctors have called for people to light a candle in solidarity. As per reports, the victim's parents have also joined the protesting doctors.
