The court in the case questioned the West Bengal Government and the police over the handling of the case.
The bench comprising of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud in the case observed and has expressed deep concerns at the fact that the name of the victim, photographs and video clips which shows the dead body have been spread all over the media.
The bench headed by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud stated that, 'This is extremely concerning.' The counsel, Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal appearing for the State of West Bengal, submitted before the court that the photos were taken and circulated before the police reached.
The court in the case also questioned the State over the conduct of the Principal, the delay in the registration of the First Information Report, FIR and the vandalism which took place at the hospital during a public protest on August 14, 2024.
'After the crime was being detected in the early hours of the morning, the Principal of the hospital tries to pass this off as a suicide. Thus, the parents are not allowed to see the body for a few hours.' The counsel, Sibal stated that this was incorrect information and said that the State will place on record all facts.
The Chief Justice of India, CJI in the case questioned why the principal was given the charge of another hospital after he resigned from RG Kar Hospital.

The First Information Report, FIR was registered only at 11.45 PM. Sibal said that the FIR was being registered based on the complaint of the victim's family.
