'Don't Drag Us Into It': Delhi High Court On Plea Alleging Use Of Force On Students
The Delhi High Court has declined to grant an urgent hearing for a petition alleging excessive police force against student protesters. The bench expressed a desire for the judiciary to remain separate from the immediate political conflict surrounding the march.
The Delhi High Court on Tuesday refused to urgently list a plea concerning allegations of Delhi Police using excessive force against students. The underlying incident occurred during a protest march toward Parliament organized by the Cockroach Janta Party on Monday.
A representative for the petitioners requested an immediate hearing, citing concerns over the treatment of students during the demonstration. However, the bench responded to the request by stating, "Don't drag us into it," indicating a refusal to fast-track the legal challenge at this stage.
The petition seeks accountability for the alleged police action, which critics have described as disproportionate. The court suggested that the matter should follow regular procedural channels rather than receiving emergency priority. Source: Delhi High Court.
