SC postpones RG Kar case hearing till September 30

The Supreme Court has postponed the further hearing of the RG Kar case, which was originally scheduled for September 27. According to a recent notice, the hearing will now take place on September 30. The postponement follows a request from the state, which had earlier applied for an adjournment of the hearing date. This development was anticipated, as there had been speculation about a possible delay after the state's plea.

The state government had filed a formal application in the Supreme Court, requesting that the hearing be rescheduled. The reason behind this request has not been officially detailed, but it is common for such petitions to be made if there are logistical or procedural concerns. Since the plea was filed, many observers expected that the hearing might be delayed, and their expectations were confirmed today.

According to reports, senior legal professionals such as Vikas Ranjan Bhattacharya have weighed in on the matter. They have noted that while the change of date may seem insignificant, applications to postpone hearings in the Supreme Court are not very frequent. He pointed out that such changes can sometimes signal underlying issues, as requests like these are generally made when there is a legitimate concern.

The postponement of the RG Kar case is being closely monitored due to the legal complexities involved. Many believe that the upcoming hearing on September 30 could provide more clarity on the state's position and the future of the case. For now, all eyes remain on the new date for the next significant legal development.
