While issuing the formal order, the court imposed several conditions on the doctors' group for organising its protest programme in the heart of the city

- STATESMAN NEWS SERVICE

Calcutta High Court on Friday allowed the Joint Platform of Doctors to hold a sit-in demonstration at Metro Channel, opposite the Metro Cinema shopping plaza at Esplanade, on the incident of the brutal rape and murder of a young woman doctor at the R G Kar Medical College Hospital, until 26 December.

While issuing the formal order today, the court imposed several conditions on the JPD for organising its protest programme in the heart of the city.

On Thursday, the court had given verbal clearance to the group for the event.

Justice Tirthankar Ghosh, who passed the formal order today, said: "Yesterday, I had given verbal permission for the programme. The state government should not deny permission for the programme at a time when the doctors are mentally prepared to organise the protest show."
