The request was made through their counsel, Phiroze Edulji, seeking leave to inspect the site of the incident—excluding the seminar room—within the hospital premises.

The young doctor was found raped and murdered on 9 August last year inside the Chest Medicine Department, located on the fourth floor of the nine-storey casualty building at the state-run teaching hospital. The brutal incident sparked nationwide outrage, with people taking to the streets demanding justice.
