Delhi High Court Rejects Pleas for Probe into Assault on Lawyers Outside BCI Office
The Delhi High Court dismissed petitions seeking independent probes into the alleged assault on lawyers during a peaceful protest outside the Bar Council of India (BCI) office on August 21. Petitioners accused unidentified assailants of violence and questioned BCI Chairperson Manan Kumar Mishra's role. The court ruled the pleas were not maintainable, noting petitioners had alternative legal remedies, including filing complaints with police or magistrates. The petitions also sought preservation of CCTV footage from the BCI premises, but no FIR has been registered yet.
