Supreme Court Declines Urgent Hearing on Police Action Against CJP Student Protesters
The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, declined an urgent hearing on a petition challenging police action against student protesters during the Cockroach Janta Party's march in Delhi. The court refused to review video evidence of alleged police brutality, advising petitioners to approach the Delhi High Court instead. Protesters demanded the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged exam paper leaks. The police used lathis and tear gas to disperse crowds, leading to clashes during the demonstration.
