Chief Justice of India Surya Kant refuses to hear a petition challenging police action against student protesters, telling the lawyers appearing that the court does not want to watch video evidence. According to reports, when the petitioner’s counsel referred to videos said to show alleged excesses by police, the Chief Justice responded that the court has “no time” and is “not interested in videos.” The proceedings highlight a procedural disagreement between the bench and petitioners on how evidence should be presented. While the petition concerns alleged police conduct during a CJP protest involving students, the Chief Justice’s remarks indicate that the matter is not being evaluated on the basis of video clips at that stage. The reported exchanges focus on the Chief Justice’s refusal to take up the plea in its presented form rather than on any final ruling on the underlying allegations. The reports from NDTV and Mint describe the same key interaction between the petitioner’s lawyer and the Chief Justice during the hearing.
