SC directs RG Kar Medical College trainee doctor rape and murder case be sent to Calcutta High Court for monitoring, ensuring status report reaches victim’s parents.

Supreme Court Transfers Trainee Doctor Case to Calcutta High Court

Trainee Doctor Case Moved to Calcutta High Court

SC directs RG Kar Medical College trainee doctor rape and murder case be sent to Calcutta High Court for monitoring, ensuring status report reaches victim&rsquo;s parents.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday transferred the RG Kar Medical College trainee doctor rape and murder case to the Calcutta High Court to monitor the implementation of its orders.
A bench of Justices M M Sundresh and Satish Chandra Sharma directed that the case papers be sent to the high court. The apex court, which took suo motu cognisance of the case in 2024, also said that a copy of the status report should be given to the parents of the victim.
Senior advocate Karuna Nundy, representing the association of junior and senior doctors, submitted that the top court had constituted a National Task Force after recognising the need to evolve a national consensus. "I am representing the doctors of West Bengal. NTF was constituted to formulate effective recommendations to remedy the issues pertaining to safety and well being of medical professionals. Only one hearing is required to wrap this matter," she said.
The apex court said the matter can be looked into by a constitutional court in West Bengal. "We deem it appropriate to send the proceedings to the division bench of the Calcutta High Court with a request to the chief justice to place the matter before an appropriate bench," the bench said.
The body of the postgraduate trainee doctor was found in the hospital's seminar room on August 9 last year. Kolkata police arrested Sanjay Roy, a civic volunteer, the next day. On January 20, a Kolkata trial court awarded Roy "life term imprisonment till death" in the case.
The heinous crime triggered nationwide outrage and prolonged protests in West Bengal. The apex court, even after the primary conviction, is monitoring multiple ancillary issues, including regularising the unauthorised absence of doctors.
In November last year, the NTF in its report &mdash; part of the Central government's affidavit &mdash; said a separate central law to deal with offences against healthcare professionals was not required. The panel said state laws had adequate provisions to address minor offences besides serious ones under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
In a slew of recommendations, the NTF said 24 states had enacted laws to address violence against healthcare professionals while defining the terms "health care institutions" and "medical professionals".
Initially investigated by the Kolkata police, the case was transferred to the CBI on August 13 after the Calcutta High Court expressed dissatisfaction over the former's investigation. The top court subsequently assumed oversight of the matter on August 19, 2024.

The Calcutta High Court reviews appeals from the West Bengal government and CBI seeking the death penalty for Sanjay Roy, convicted in the RG Kar hospital rape-murder case. The decision on the admissibility of these appeals will be announced later.

RG Kar rape-murder: Cal HC reserves order on admission of appeals by WB govt, CBI

The court considers appeals by the West Bengal government and CBI for the death penalty for Sanjay Roy, convicted in the RG Kar hospital rape-murder case. Both parties argue the life sentence is insufficient. Decision pending on appeal admission.

Calcutta High Court examines appeals for death penalty for Sanjay Roy in RG Kar hospital case. State and CBI challenge life sentence as insufficient.

The Calcutta High Court on Monday reserved its order on the admission of two separate appeals, one by the West Bengal government and the other by the CBI, challenging a trial court order which sentenced RG Kar hospital rape-murder convict Sanjay Roy to life imprisonment till death.
The court's division bench, presided by Justice Debangsu Basak, heard both the state government and the CBI, who argued that the January 20 order of the Sealdah sessions court sentencing Roy, the sole convict in the crime, to life imprisonment till death was inadequate.
Both the CBI and the state government separately prayed for capital punishment for the convict.
The CBI claimed before the bench that only it has the right to move an appeal before the high court on grounds of inadequacy of sentence since it was the investigation and prosecution agency of the case.
The state government argued that apart from the central agency, it too can move an appeal claiming inadequacy of sentence given by the trial court.
Advocate General Kishore Dutta, representing the West Bengal government, opened the day's arguments before the division bench for admission of the state's appeal.
The parents of the victim doctor and the convict were represented before the court by their respective lawyers as per the earlier direction of the division bench.
Roy was sentenced to life imprisonment till the end of his natural life by the Sealdah sessions court here for the rape and murder of an on-duty doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9, 2024.
