Justice Jay Sengupta asked the North Bengal Medical College authorities to allow the students to write their papers and attend classes. The five students approached the high court on November 13 after the college authorities told them they would not be allowed to write the upcoming examinations. Indrajit Saha, the principal of North Bengal Medical College and Hospital, did not answer calls from this newspaper on Tuesday evening. In October, a vacation bench of the high court stayed the punitive actions announced by the RG Kar authorities. Chief minister Mamata Banerjee had expressed her disapproval of such stringent action taken by the RG Kar authorities bypassing the health department.
