Dr Atul Chag’s son Hitarth had moved a contempt petition, submitting that the police had not registered an FIR despite a Supreme Court judgment providing a mandate to do so.
Public prosecutor Mitesh Amin's assurance Tuesday came after the division bench of Justices AJ Shastri and JC Doshi asked if the state government intended to register an FIR or not in the case.
While the government employees and officers in contempt proceedings are defended by government law officers at the expense of the government, the court in particular cases can direct that they should not be represented by government lawyers, for potential conflict of interest that may arise later.
Dr. Chug committed suicide by hanging at his hospital on Sunday morning, and a complaint was filed late that evening, after his son arrived in the town.
