RG Kar case: Suggestions on security, safety of med professionals to be shared with NTF, says SC
gender-based violence and developing safety protocols for doctors and medical staff at hospitals with the court-appointed national task force. A bench comprising Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar said the NTF will file its report within 12 weeks from Tuesday for its consideration.
The top court constituted the NTF on August 20 to formulate a protocol for ensuring safety and security of medical professionals in the wake of the rape and murder of a doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata.
While hearing the suo motu case on Tuesday, the CJI said the case would be next heard in the week commencing March 17, 2025, but suggested the parties could seek an earlier hearing if the rape and murder trial of the case was delayed.
In November, the NTF in its report — part of the Central government's affidavit — stated that a separate central law to deal with offences against health care professionals was not required.
The panel said the state laws had adequate provisions to address the day-to-day minor offences besides the serious ones under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
