The Story in Brief
The Rajasthan High Court has directed the state government to provide immediate medical facilities at the Sessions Court Complex in Jodhpur after a lawyer, Jeewan Ram Choudhary, died there following a heart attack. The court described the lack of facilities as alarming and said the state must protect lawyers, judges, litigants and visitors.
The court ordered the deployment of one medical officer, two Grade II nursing staff, a pharmacist, lab technician, two ward boys and a sweeper. It also directed the department to provide an ambulance. The High Court Advocates Association said the complex currently had only one family health worker and one fourth-class employee, despite repeated representations seeking more staff.
The Indian Opinion
The alarming narrative here should not become either a simple attack on court administration or a claim that staffing alone guarantees survival after a heart attack. The reported death underlines the need for first aid, trained personnel, equipment and rapid transport in a busy public building. The practical test is immediate: whether the ordered staff and ambulance are deployed, functional and regularly monitored at the Jodhpur complex.
