SC raps Punjab, slaps state with contempt notice

The Supreme Court on Friday reprimanded the Punjab government for failing to shift farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, who has been on a fast-unto-death for over a month, to a hospital despite repeated medical advice.

NEW DELHI:

A bench of justices Surya Kant and Sudhanshu Dhulia, convening a special sitting during the court's Christmas and New Year vacation, demanded immediate action and questioned the state's seriousness in ensuring the leader's survival.

"This is a contempt petition against the Punjab chief secretary and DGP for not complying with our December 20 order," noted the bench, highlighting a key directive for Dallewal's hospitalization, and questioning Punjab advocate general Gurminder Singh whether the state was really serious about Dallewal's well-being.

"Please, take it seriously. Someone's life is at stake...the impression we get is that you have not been taking it seriously," said the bench, expressing dissatisfaction with the state's delay in providing Dallewal with adequate medical care.
