Activist Sonam Wangchuk’s wife, Dr Gitanjali Angmo on Monday approached the Delhi High Court again, challenging the Single Judge’s order that declined her plea to shift Wangchuk from Safdarjung Hospital to a private hospital of his choice.
In her fresh appeal, Angmo has contended that the Single Judge’s order effectively deprives Wangchuk and his family of the right to decide his medical treatment and place of treatment. Her appeal further argues that the order overlooks the principles of informed consent, bodily autonomy under Article 21, and unlawfully confines Wangchuk to the government hospital despite there being no order of arrest or detention against him, as reported by ANI.
