Sr Adv Hansaria: 2 more aspects kindly consider (1) distress call system available on watch that can be part of it; (2) Institutional FIR, here parents have to go etc; (3) Fast tracking of the cases

CJI: we are circulating a sheet of paper, all you may put your names down

CJI: all intervenors give on a slip the name of the body , then we will say that out of these the NTF shall take a decision to consult these

CJI: Committee will ensure it will hear all representatives, we will reiterate that in our order. Mr Kamath we are grateful to you, our hearts go out to all those going to Public Hospitals, we will make a statement that resident doctors will be heard, you stakes and inputs are very high

CJI: NTF will include resident doctors, Please assure the resident doctors that they will be heard by (NTF)

Counsel urges to include resident doctors in NTF

CJI: if we ask representatives to be part of the NTF, it becomes impossible to work. There are very senior women doctor in the NTF, they have worked for a very long time in the health care 

Counsel: they have reported back

Counsel 2: PGI Chandigarh doctors went on rally but returned to work

CJI: let them all return to work...we will pass some general order, pls rest assured that once doctors resume duties we will prevail upon authorities to not take adverse actions, how will public administrative structure run if they don't resume work

Counsel : AIIMs Doctors in Nagpur, they are agitating, they are being marked absent, not being allowed in exams, some lenient view be taken

CJI: how can we tell the administration to mark something which is not correct, ask them to first return to work, nobody will then take an action
