SC Orders Bengal to Post Aniket Mahata at RG Kar Hospital
The Supreme Court told the Bengal government to put Aniket Mahata in a job at RG Kar Medical College Hospital within two weeks.
This is because the court said no to the Bengal government's complaint about an earlier order.
Aniket Mahata was a big part of protests after a very bad crime happened at the hospital last year.
The court said the Bengal government must follow the rules and put Aniket Mahata in the job he wanted.
Supreme Court directed Bengal government to post Aniket Mahata at RG Kar Medical College Hospital within two weeks.
Order dismisses Bengal government's appeal against Calcutta High Court's directives.
Aniket Mahata was a key figure in protests following the rape and murder of a medical student at RG Kar hospital.
High Court had ordered the state to post Mahata at RG Kar hospital instead of Raiganj Government Medical College and Hospital.
State had challenged the single judge bench order before a division bench, which refused to interfere.
