The Supreme Court expressed strong displeasure over Punjab’s failure to provide medical aid to Jagjit Dallewal, a Sikh prisoner suffering from a serious health condition. The Punjab government claimed it was helpless due to a lack of resources, leading to the Court’s harsh response. The court directed immediate medical attention to Dallewal, highlighting the state's responsibility to ensure the well-being of prisoners. The matter has been adjourned, with the Supreme Court emphasizing that prisoners' rights must be safeguarded by the state, regardless of any financial or resource-related constraints. This case has brought to the forefront concerns regarding prisoner welfare and state accountability in ensuring proper medical treatment.
