Sonam Wangchuk's Safardjung hospitalisation decision right: Delhi HC on Gitanjali's Medanta transfer plea—What it said
The Delhi High Court upheld the government's decision to hospitalize Sonam Wangchuk at Safdarjung Hospital, stating it was not arbitrary given his health condition after an 18-day fast. Justice Mini Pushkarna noted that Wangchuk was under medical supervision and had consented to treatment, affirming his right to bodily autonomy was not violated. The court declined to order his transfer to Medanta Hospital, despite arguments from Wangchuk's lawyer regarding family rights over medical decisions.
