The Supreme Court has given time till 5 pm on Tuesday for doctors protesting over the Kolkata rape-murder case to return to duty.
“The state, in affidavit, has indicated that funds have been sanctioned for carrying out safety measures. This shall be monitored by District Collectors. In order to create sense of confidence we state that in the event that doctors come to work by 5 PM tomorrow, not adverse actions…,” said a bench led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud.
If there is continuous abstention from work despite the facilities given, there will be likelihood of action in future, said the CJI.
