The Delhi High Court on Sunday refused to grant interim relief on a petition filed by the wife of activist Sonam Wangchuk, challenging his continued hospitalisation at Safdarjung Hospital. The court observed that the government's decision to shift him from the Jantar Mantar protest site due to his deteriorating health could not be termed arbitrary and directed the Centre and other respondents to file their replies within three days.

Court issues notice, posts hearing for July 24

Hearing the matter, Justice Mini Pushkarna issued notice to the Centre, the Delhi Police and other respondents, directing them to submit status reports before the next hearing scheduled for July 24.
