The Bombay High Court intervenes in a statewide doctors’ strike and urges it be withdrawn to protect patient care. According to reports, the court takes suo motu cognizance of the agitation and calls for immediate steps to restore normal hospital services. The Indian Medical Association (IMA) responds through its counsel, assuring the court that it is calling off the strike. The court also directs the state to adhere to its earlier August 3 decision on standard operating procedures (SOPs), indicating that existing regulatory guidance should govern the situation. Resident doctors, appearing before the court, state that they will not stop treating any patient during or after the resolution. Both outlets describe the court’s action as focused on patient welfare and continuity of treatment, while also noting that broader questions related to doctors’ work stoppages are expected to be addressed later. The reported developments lead to the strike being called off, with further details awaited as the matter proceeds.
