Supreme Court Declines Urgent Hearing on CJP Protest Plea

The Supreme Court of India has refused to grant an urgent hearing on a plea challenging the alleged police action against student protesters in Delhi during the ongoing CJP (Cockroach Janta Party) demonstrations at Jantar Mantar.

During the hearing, Chief Justice of India Justice Surya Kant reportedly remarked, "We don't have time to watch videos. Don't waste our time," while declining to take up the matter on an urgent basis.

What We Can Verify

  • The Supreme Court was approached with a plea related to police action during the CJP protest at Jantar Mantar.
  • The court refused to hear the matter urgently.
  • CJI Justice Surya Kant made the remarks cited above during the hearing.
  • This development comes amid the ongoing multi-day CJP sit-in at Jantar Mantar demanding NEET reform and accountability for alleged paper leaks.

Context

The CJP protest at Jantar Mantar has seen multiple days of demonstrations, with reports of police lathi-charge during the July 20 "Chalo Sansad" march. An FIR was filed against RAF personnel for alleged assault on protesters. The plea before the Supreme Court appears to have sought judicial intervention over the police response.

The court's refusal to hear the matter urgently is a significant setback for protesters who were seeking immediate judicial relief.

This is a developing story. Details about the specific plea, the petitioner, and the court's detailed observations are based on a single video source and may be updated as more reporting becomes available.
