Don’t Drag The Court: Delhi HC Refuses Urgent Hearing On Police Action During CJP Protest

The matter was mentioned before a bench headed by the CJI at the commencement of proceedings.

Seeking suo motu proceedings, a lawyer said that the case concerned the Delhi Police's action against thousands of students who had marched towards Parliament as part of the “Chalo Sansad” protest called by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), demanding the resignation of Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged examination paper leaks and reforms in the National Testing Agency (NTA).

“Don't waste our time, and don't waste your time,” the CJI told the lawyer.

The counsel attempted to persuade the court by arguing that the protests were centred on issues affecting lakhs of students, including the conduct of the NEET examination and reforms in the NTA.

Cutting him short, the bench, also comprising justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana, responded, “Thank you very much.”
