The Supreme Court, led by Justice Khanna, rejected the Delhi Medical Association’s plea for doctors’ protection, asserting existing IPC laws suffice. Advocate Hansaria sought preventive measures for frequent violence. The court emphasized private hospitals’ security responsibility, mentioned a compensation fund, and highlighted police presence in government hospitals and security gaps in rural hospitals cited in Kalita’s petition.
