Midnight court hearing for Yakub Memon and Teesta Setalvad but none for cancer patient who died waiting despite 57 listings: The story of two Indias

The case of the cancer patient was no less 'urgent' than the cases of Yakub Memon and Teesta Setalvad. Her life was at stake and was eventually lost amid the procedural complexities of the judicial system. However, she did not get an urgent hearing because perhaps it takes more than just a 'life and death situation' or a threat to personal liberties to attract the Indian courts' rare attention.
