CJI Surya Kant denies refusing hearing on police action against students
Chief Justice of India Surya Kant has dismissed media reports claiming he refused to hear a petition related to police action against students. The CJI clarified that no formal petition was ever filed before the court challenging the alleged use of force. A lawyer had only presented a letter representation, not a proper legal petition, before the bench. The clarification came two days after the lawyer sought an urgent hearing over alleged police force used during a student protest on July 20. The CJI called the reports reckless, emphasizing the distinction between a letter representation and a formally filed petition.
