New Delhi, July 16 -- The Delhi High Court on Wednesday sought the presence of the law officers of the Centre and the Delhi government on Thursday in a petition seeking directions to shift activist Sonam Wangchuk, who has been on a hunger strike, to a hospital and provide him medical treatment, including force-feeding. A bench of chief justice DK Upadhyaya and justice Tejas Karia, in a petition filed by advocate Rakesh Kumar Saini, listed the matter for Thursday. "Heard the petitioner who appears in person. Having regard to the urgency, list/put up tomorrow. Let a copy of this order be served upon the additional solicitor general (ASG) and the standing counsel representing the Delhi government (civil)," the court said in its order. Wangchuk's strike is part of a protest organised by the Cockroach Janta Party, demanding the resignation of Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan over NEET irregularities. The petition stated that Wangchuk's health has deteriorated significantly during the hunger strike, with the activist allegedly losing 8.5kg since June 28. "If he passes away, it would be a matter of great shame for the country and the world," the plea stated. Over 1,800 academics and artists, including Naseeruddin Shah, Arundhati Roy, Jean Dreze, Lalita Ramdas and Kavita Srivastava, on Tuesday, urged Wangchuk to end his strike. On Wednesday, the People's Union of Civil Liberties also appealed to Wangchuk to call off the protest....
