Delhi Court Dismisses CJP Leader's Plea Seeking FIR Over Alleged Police RestraintPreviousNext

Ratna Singh, legal affairs head of the Campaign for Judicial Parity (CJP), alleged that police wrongfully confined her and blocked her vehicle to prevent her from joining a protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. She sought an FIR against police personnel, citing concerns over personal liberty and safety. However, a Delhi court dismissed her plea, citing procedural deficiencies such as lack of affidavit and unspecified police personnel. Singh criticized the state machinery's actions, asserting the movement would continue despite restrictions.
