Answer:
The Court said that the difficulty that Hakim Sheik had to face could have cost him his life. If a hospital cannot provide timely medical treatment to a person, it means that this protection of life is not being given.

I would have pronounced the judgement with due compensation to Mr. Hakim Sheik. In addition, I would have heavily fined the delinquent hospitals as a deterrent punishment (criminal offense) for service negligence & dereliction of duty.
Explanation:
- Hakim Sheik was a founder of the West Bengal farm workers' union Paschim Banga Khet Mazdoor Samity (PBKMS). He mistakenly fell off a moving train one evening in 1992 and sustained injuries. He was very serious and needed to be treated immediately.
- He was admitted to a govt. hospital in Kolkata, however because they had no substitute bed they refused to accept him. There was no equipment or specialist physicians essential to his care at another hospital. He was taken in a critical state in 8 different govt. hospitals for almost 14 hours, however none admitted him. Finally, in a private hospital, he received treatment.
- He had spent much money on his treatment Hakim Sheik and the PBKMS brought a case before the court in frustration and indignation at the negligence of all the hospitals which declined to admit him.
