Delhi High Court Hears PIL Alleging Excessive Force By Police During CJP's 'Sansad Chalo' March [LIVE UPDATES]
Singh: The Act of 2024 does not go to mastermind of whoever is doing this. There is a petition in SC pending. In last 7-8 years atleast 20 public exams get rigged.
Lets not enter into that issue: Court
Singh: Your lordships should ask that body cameras should be seized. Otherwise no proper inquiry in future could happen. All innocent children, mothers, lawyers, doctors….. what happens in NEET is the rich really get a govt seat. The poor gets nothing. Children are doing suicides which is the anguish.
Singh refers to Section 149 of BNSS which provides for use of armed forces to disperse assembly.
“Every such officer of the armed forces shall obey such requisition in such manner as he thinks fit, but in so doing he shall use as little force, and do as little injury to person and property, as may be consistent with dispersing the assembly and arresting and detaining such persons,” he reads.
Hitting on head can never be permitted under this section. They are supposed to preserve cctv: Singh
Singh: Nothing to show here that it was unlawful assembly.
Singh: None of them had name plate on their uniforms.
Singh: There is standing order of Delhi Police quoted in ram lila case.
Sankarnarayan: There is video in morning showing a truck with bricks. Its for students that Gandhi laid down his life. We have to put up with this now. Notice has to go to them and strict action be taken.
The kind of bullying captured their imagination, they trip up a protestor who falls away. Then they beat him with lathis. If in this kind of excessive force, constitutional courts don’t step in. Its a license to police to get away from it because they feel they have sanction from political masters: Sankarnarayan
Sankarnarayan: No of injures were solely due to actions of delhi police, RAF, and those claiming to be them. Videos show lathis with nails.
Sankarnarayan: Till date we dont have standing order issued (while referring to Ram Lila judgment of 2012).
He says: First step to be taken was to have announcements as to how you will disperse. You will have enough water canons. Tear gas will be last option which they would not deploy. They threw it to mothers, women, etc.
