The Supreme Court has opened hearings on petitions filed by the Centre for Justice and Peace (CJP) challenging the Delhi Police’s use of force during recent protests.
The petitions allege that police deployed batons, tear gas and live ammunition against demonstrators, leading to injuries and arrests.
CJP argues that the crackdown violated constitutional guarantees of free speech and peaceful assembly.
The court will examine the legality of the police action and may order remedial measures if it finds the use of force disproportionate.
