“We mandate that the doctors must resume (their) duties from tomorrow and it would be a condition precedent that in case they report back tomorrow they shall not be arrested by the State,” read the court order.
HT reports bench has renotified the matter for January 3, 2018, in which the prayer for contempt and stay will be taken up for consideration.
The strike which has now entered into its fifth day has led to medical services in hospitals, primary health centres, community health centres, district and referral hospitals and medical college hospitals remaining paralysed across the state.
