Supreme Court sitting judge Justice MR Shah sustained a cardiac arrest in Himachal Pradesh on Thursday. Shah was airlifted to Delhi and admitted to a private hospital. Justice Shah had presided over a vacation bench in the top court last week.
Chief Justice of India NV Ramana visited him at Escorts Hospital in the evening to inquire about his health. He had been in constant touch with Justice Shah and the ministry of home affairs since morning.
The CJI inquired about Justice Shah’s health from the doctors attending him, an official source said. Earlier in the day, Justice Shah had complained of discomfort in the chest. To allay speculation, in a video message later, the apex court judge said he is “okay and stable” and coming back to Delhi.
In the video, Justice Shah is seen lying down and is saying he is stable. “By the grace of God, I am okay, stable; I am reaching Delhi soon. I have my family’s blessings and day after tomorrow, I will be okay,” he adds.
