High Court Questions Responsibility for Patient Deaths Amid Doctor Protest

During the hearing on the doctors' strike, the Bombay High Court queried the protesters about accountability for potential fatalities in government hospitals. The bench reminded the doctors that if fifty patients were to lose their lives while the strike persists, the onus would rest on the striking physicians.

The judges instructed the medical community to call off the walkout promptly and warned that salary deductions would follow any further non‑compliance. They also assured that the concerns of the demonstrators would be heard after the strike ends.
