New Delhi, Jan 22 (UNI) The Supreme Court on Wednesday deferred contempt proceedings against Punjab Government officials over their alleged failure to shift farmers’ leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal to a hospital.
The decision came after the Court was informed of significant progress in resolving the stalemate between protesting farmers and the Union Government.
A bench comprising Justice Surya Kant, Justice Dipankar Datta, and Justice Ujjal Bhuyan noted that Dallewal, who has been on a hunger strike since November 26, 2024, for Minimum Support Price (MSP) and other demands, has accepted medical intervention.
