Supreme Court Declines to Reconstitute Committee Probing Delhi Student Protest Police Actions
The Supreme Court rejected requests to reconstitute its five-member committee investigating police actions during recent student protests in Delhi. The bench, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, emphasized trust in the panel headed by former judge R Subhash Reddy and affirmed it would operate under court supervision. Petitioners raised concerns about a potential conflict of interest involving a former DGP on the panel, but the court dismissed these, promising open hearings if issues arise. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta opposed allegations of bias against the committee.
