Calcutta High Court sets aside prohibitory orders, allows junior doctors to stage protest near 'Durga Puja Carnival'
The Daily Guardian|October 17, 2024
The Calcutta High Court in the case Joint Platform of Doctors & Ors. Vs. State of West Bengal & Ors observed and has set aside prohibitory orders which are imposed under section 163 (1) and section 163 (3) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, BNSS, 2023 by the commissioner of police, Kolkata.

The court imposed the said order to prevent the assembly of junior doctors, from protesting the brutal rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar medical college and Hospital, near the area where the State's Durga Puja immersion carnival was slated to be held.

A single bench of Justice Ravi Krishan Kapur in the case passed the order after Chief Justice TS Sivagananam convened a special vacation bench upon a letter sent by the protesting doctors.

The bench in the case stated that they were challenging the refusal of the State respondents in order to permit the petitioners to conduct a "Droher Carnival" - Doctors and Citizens Assembly on October 15, 2024.
