Today, Monday, October 14, Senior Advocate Indira Jaisingh urged the Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud to hear the RG Kar case tomorrow, Tuesday, October 15, at 2 pm. She said that this is required because the situation is quite "grave", this was stated via a tweet by LiveLaw and Bar and Bench.

"Just mention it tomorrow in the presence of everybody we will take it up," stated the CJI, as per a tweet by LiveLaw.

During its fifth and last hearing on October 30, the Supreme Court had directed the National Task Force (NTF), which it had formed to look into the safety and security concerns of healthcare professionals, to submit its interim report in the next hearing, which was scheduled for today, Monday, October 14.

This is the suo-motu case that the Supreme Court had taken up regarding the rape-murder of the postgraduate trainee (PGT) doctor that had taken place at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata on August 9. RG Kar is a west Bengal-run government hospital.

A few other updates from the last hearing were that the fact that doctors are being attacked came up; the threat culture which continues to make doctors feel vulnerable and fearful of reporting for duties; the CJI informed that “substantial leads” have come up in the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe and more, as per a report by The Telegraph.
