"Hon'ble Justice MR Shah Judge Supreme Court of India has suffered a heart attack while he was in Himachal Pradesh. Arrangements being made to rush him to Delhi. Praying to God for his speedy recovery," a tweet from Supreme Court lawyer and BJP national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia read.
According to PTI, CJI N.V. Ramana has been in touch with Justice Shah and home ministry for making the necessary arrangements to bring him to Delhi for treatment.
According to news agency ANI, a statement from Justice Shah's office said he is stable and there is no reason to worry.
