In a heated Supreme Court session on September 17, Chief Justice of India (CJI) D.Y. Chandrachud reprimanded a senior counsel seeking the removal of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over her handling of the Kolkata rape case. Chandrachud emphasized that the court is not a political platform and rejected the application. He stressed that the court's focus is on addressing the junior doctors' grievances, not on political demands. The bench is reviewing the CBI's status report on the case and has requested updates by September 24. The junior doctors' forum is pressing for implementation of their demands.
