‘Don’t waste our time’: CJI Kant declines to take cognisance of police violence during CJP’s Parliament march

The Supreme Court, led by CJI Surya Kant, declined to take suo motu cognisance of alleged police violence during a student protest organized by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) in Delhi. The lawyer presenting the case cited videographic evidence of police brutality against protesters demanding reforms in the National Testing Agency (NTA) and the resignation of the Union Education Minister. Both the Supreme Court and the Delhi High Court refused urgent hearings, with the CJI stating the court's time should not be 'wasted' on watching videos. The police action, which included alleged pellet gun use and an internet shutdown, sparked political protests and demands for ministerial resignations.
