The Calcutta High Court has instructed the family of the victim from RG Kar Hospital to seek approval from the Supreme Court for a fresh investigation into the case. The ruling comes after the victim's family expressed dissatisfaction with the previous inquiry and demanded a more comprehensive probe into the incident, alleging lapses in the initial investigation.
The case involves serious concerns raised by the family about the circumstances surrounding the death of the victim at the hospital. The family members have accused hospital authorities of negligence and misconduct, leading to the victim's untimely death. Despite their requests for a re-investigation, the authorities initially dismissed their claims, prompting the family to approach the Calcutta High Court.
The High Court, while acknowledging the family’s concerns, has ruled that any further investigation can only proceed with the Supreme Court's approval. This decision underscores the complexities of legal procedures and the need for higher court interventions when it comes to significant cases involving allegations of negligence and malpractice.
The victim’s family, however, remains determined to pursue justice, and their legal counsel has indicated that they will soon file a petition with the Supreme Court seeking a fresh and impartial investigation. The outcome of this case will likely set a precedent for similar legal battles in the future, especially in matters related to healthcare negligence and patient rights.
