SC to hear plea on Dallewal's treatment today

NEW DELHI: Supreme Court is scheduled to hear on January 2 a plea seeking contempt action against Punjab govt for not complying with directions to hospitalise farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, who has been on an indefinite fast for over a month.

A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan will hear the plea. Dallewal has been on an indefinite fast at the Khanauri border point between Punjab and Haryana since Nov 26 to press the Centre to accept farmers' demands, including a legal guarantee of minimum support price for crops. Punjab govt had informed the vacation bench that Dallewal agreed for medical aid given the Centre accepted his proposal to hold talks.
