CJP founder Abhijit Dipke announced an indefinite hunger strike after activist Sonam Wangchuk was shifted to Safdarjung Hospital by Delhi Police following a deterioration in his health
Safdarjung Hospital said Sonam Wangchuk is stable but weak due to prolonged fasting and dehydration, and requires continuous monitoring after being admitted following the deterioration of his health
A bench of Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and Justice Tejas Karia asserted that life was precious and said Wangchuk's condition should be regularly checked by government doctors

Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk has been on an indefinite hunger strike at Delhi's Jantar Mantar in support of the CJP's demands over alleged NeetT irregularities, exam reforms and accountability
On the 18th day of his indefinite hunger strike, activist said that ending the fast without a govt response would send the wrong message and called for participation in the proposed Parliament march
Wangchuk, on the 14th day of his indefinite hunger strike over alleged exam irregularities, urged people to stop looking for heroes and instead take responsibility for bringing about change themselves

The decision comes days after the SC adjourned the hearing on a plea filed by the activist's wife, Gitanjali J Angmo, challenging his detention to March 17
The Centre and the Ladakh administration had told the apex court that Wangchuk was detained for instigating people in a border area where regional sensitivity was involved
At the outset, Justice Kumar asked Nataraj whether any progress had been made at the court's request to review Wangchuk's detention in view of his deteriorating health
On Wednesday, the top court had asked the Centre if there was any possibility for the government to relook at the detention of Wangchuk considering his health condition
