SC Seeks Compliance on Medical Aid for Farmer Leader Dallewal

The Supreme Court has ordered the Punjab government to submit a compliance report by December 28, 2024, regarding the medical assistance for farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, who is on an indefinite hunger strike.

This protest aims to secure legal guarantees for minimum support prices and agricultural reforms. The court referenced a December 20 order mandating medical aid and hospitalization, indicating potential contempt against state officials for non-compliance.

The SC has ordered the Chief Secretary and DGP to appear virtually during the next hearing, highlighting the urgency of Dallewal’s medical needs and questioning the Punjab government's commitment to his welfare.
