CJI: we find justification raised....we are affirmatively of the view that conditions of women doctors not working at night will prejudice their careers
CJI; hours of duty should be reasonable for all doctors, it would be inappropriate to target women doctors as compared to their male counterparts....
Sibal: we are going to reword it, we will delete it but say that preferably they should not be extended till late night
CJI also mentions steps to be taken for biometric access
CJI: 1514 security personnel are proposed to be engaged by outsourcing agency for 1 year, serious reservations are expressed by counsel of senior and junior doctors, bearing in mind that the alleged crime is done by a civic volunteer who was hired on contract....apart from this a notification was issued by the state on women doctors to not work at night
CJI: in our view, the participatory process should be followed so that senior and junior doctors can also participate, We suggest Mr Sibal that (1) DM , (2) the principle of each medicla hospital, (3) the representative of of each senior doctor shall be consulted so that the toilets and CCTVs etc are installed with their inputs, this shall be completed within 2 weeks
