Delhi High Court Hearing PIL Alleging Foreign Funding Behind NEET Exam Leak Protest [Live Updates]
Sinha: I have shown how they have vandalised public and private property. I am praying ask the police to give status report.
Where is the question of filing status report. FIRs have been lodged two three days ago. As you say, these incidents are within notice and knowledge of authorities. Law is in place. They will invoke it: Court
Call for status report: Sinha
What for? Regarding prayer 3 you approach authorities. They will see: Court
We are not saying we cant direct CBI. NIA situation is different. CBi also depends on progress made in investigation by primary agency. If the court is not satisfied then CBI probe can be ordered. That stage has not come: Court
Sinha: NIA or any other soecialised agency like CBI. Or SIT can be constituted.
That again Delhi Police Establishment Act provides when CBI can take over any investigation: Court
SGI Tushar Mehta appears.
Mehta: Your lordships interpretation of NIA Act I agree with it. If he is restricting to other agency… This appears to be in a loose sense a cross FIR. Earlier notice was issued (in another matter).
Court: Prayer is for investigation. Not for inquiry. Investigation stage comes only after FIR. Which agency will investigate is call of authorities.
Matter taken up.
Court says it will hear SGI Tushar Mehta at 2:30 PM.
Court: Question is following law and statutory prescriptions. You make representation in respect of prayer 3. Regarding NIA, it is for authorities.
Court: Inquiry is to be conducted under supervision of appropriate authority. We cannot reflect upon anything merely by going through photos and videos. Why should we direct? Let them form their opinion.
Court: For prayer 3, approach authorities. They will take action.
Sinha: There is violation of fundamental right. Call for status report on FIRs registered. Metros are closed. Roads are blocked.
Court: We are not denying all that. We don’t know. We are not reflecting on ourselves on what is reported or what yiu are saying. We are on legal issues. If SHO makes report and Central Govt forms opinion that FIRs are to be probed by NIA, they will do that. Entire mechanism is there. You represent authorities. We will ask them to take decision on your representation that’s all.
