Supreme Court Declines Urgent Hearing on Protest Crackdown Pleas
The Supreme Court refused to urgently hear petitions concerning alleged police action against protesters. The court stated it would not waste its time and directed petitioners to approach the High Court. One petition related to a police crackdown on CJP protesters, while another concerned alleged police brutality during a Jantar Mantar protest. The Delhi High Court also refused an urgent listing for a plea regarding the forceful removal of an individual from Jantar Mantar. The Supreme Court has scheduled a hearing for July 27 on petitions related to a crackdown on a youth movement.
