Where are rapists ?
Where are Murderes?

Where is justice !

[MrPrasadvallampati]

It's not the question of safety of only doctors but all women.

[ayeemnr]

Why are people making it only about doctors! Doctors are women too, right? Rules and safety measures should be taken for WOMEN collectively and clearly said so, not just about doctors.

[aswini]

In this case rapists and murderers are her own colleague doctors themselves. How to ensure security when your own seniors or colleagues are involved?

[anupamsurya]

There is something big behind all this

[sujitbiswas]

India is experiencing the most incompetent and spineless Chief Justice.

[Kumargaurav-]

This is matter of all women across the country not only about the doctors

[sangeetanandy]

Unless the accused are convicted and punished, it doesn’t mean that safety is prevailed …. These aren’t additional steps… these are normally expected by law…. ✊

[vidyadharkotta]

Looks like CJI giving lecture in seminar. No focus on fixing responsibility

[KrishnaKumar-blbt]

Hopeless judiciary and law and order
Shame on india

[sincerelyyours]

Basically they still didn't address the escaped criminals and police and political support

[subhasisgarai]

Agreed but where's the justice. Where's the strict actions against the protectors i.e. CP of Kolkata, Police Minister and Health Minister?

[rawatji]

So our supreme court is worried only about women doctors instead of all women.
Because these kinda cases are happening in every city, recently two 4 yo were sxly assaulted in school by sweeper.
The police response was late just like wb police.
So I think our government and supreme court should focus on giving harsh punishment, like capital punishments to such criminals to set an example.
So that people with such criminal mind would have fear of consequences and such cases wouldn't happen on a daily basis.

[MamtaSharma-gett]

Judges can take long time to give judgement but doctors have to diognise within a short period and start their treatment. Why so?
If anything goes wrong, the doctors are fired but what happens to Judges if their judgement is wrong. 😮
Judiciary should come under consumer protection law.

[caitalbuquerque]

Congratulations to the Chief Justice for arranging to put the safety of doctors and females.

[meghasanyal]

If women can't be assured safety, it's better to allow them weapons for self protection. Even men should be given rights for self defence.

[roopeshkumar]

I have lost my faith in the jurisdiction

[sonoomalkani]

Where are the perpetrators? Why has no action been taken?

[ronron]

Heavier punishment is needed not jail time.

[joshnamukhia]

What kind of hearing is this ?? Where is the Justice ??
