The Delhi High Court on Sunday ruled that climate activist Sonam Wangchuk shall continue receiving treatment at Safdarjung Hospital until the next hearing, declining to pass any interim order on his wife Gitanjali J Angmo's plea seeking his transfer to a private hospital.
Hearing the matter, the high court observed that the Centre's decision to shift Wangchuk to Safdarjung Hospital was not arbitrary as it was taken in view of his deteriorating medical condition and an earlier Division Bench order directing regular medical monitoring. The court noted that Wangchuk had been on a hunger strike for 17-18 days when he was shifted to the government hospital after his vital parameters worsened.
