The court will continue the hearing on these matters tomorrow
Pracha wants an independent committee, with Justice AP Shah as its member, to probe into the matter of Jamia violence
'The entire exercise of the police needs to be seen from the prism from an intention to suppress dissent', Pracha argues
Pracha: police is filing evidence in sealed cover to withhold the same from us
'Evidence must be taken out from the cupboards of the police', he argues
Pracha emphasises that police can't be called a neutral party on these cases
Pracha: 'time is not conducive for registeration of FIRs' is a concept which is alien to CrPC
'If police neutrality is compromised, they're worse then criminals', Pracha argues
'They thought they're above the law', he argues
Mr Pracha, appearing for one of the Petitioners, submits that police have committed illegal acts by acting beyond the protocols
'Whatever has happened needs to be taken care of as per law', he argues
Umar Khan submits that knowledge about the violence has been disseminated in public domain through various media portals, social media websites, etc.
