The Supreme Court hearing into the RG Kar Medical Collegeand Hospital rape-murder case that was scheduled for Thursday has most likely been deferred.
The bench hearing the matter taken up suo motu by the SC, comprising Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud, Justice J.B. Pardiwala and Justice Manoj Misra, will not hold court on September 5, as per the listing notice on the Supreme Court website.
The notice, however, says that the bench of Justice J.B. Pardiwala and Justice Manoj Misra will hear matters listed before it on Thursday.

The listing notice doesn’t make it clear when the three-judge bench will hear the RG Kar matter.
Calcutta is getting ready for a protest on Wednesday that is reminiscent of the Reclaim the Night gatherings on August 14. The West Bengal Junior Doctors' Front, which has been spearheading the medicos’ protests over the rape and murder of a postgraduate trainee doctor, has called for a peaceful protest named ‘Let there be light, Let there be Justice’ on Wednesday night.
Most placards and posters of the ‘Let there be light, Let there be Justice’ protests tonight have been timed to raise a clamour for justice the night before the hearing in the Supreme Court.
