CJI Rejects Urgent Listing of Police Action Pleas, Declines Video Evidence

The Chief Justice of India (CJI) has declined to grant an urgent listing for a set of petitions alleging police assault on unarmed protesters. The decision was taken after a lawyer presented the CJI with videos purportedly showing the incidents. In a brief statement, the CJI rejected the submission of the videos and declined to entertain the request for an expedited hearing. The case will continue to be processed under the regular court schedule, with no immediate relief granted to the petitioners.
