Chief Justice of India Surya Kant clarified that the Supreme Court had never refused to hear a matter regarding alleged police action against student protesters. He emphasized that the court is always open to hearing cases and explained that a properly filed petition was necessary for consideration. CJI Kant highlighted that a one-page representation was insufficient for an urgent hearing.
The CJI emphasized that the Supreme Court’s process must be followed, including the proper filing of petitions. He stated that the court cannot violate its procedures and that petitioners must adhere to the prescribed methods. Once the petitions were filed correctly, the Supreme Court welcomed them for consideration.
Addressing the citizens, CJI Kant affirmed the court’s commitment to upholding the law and providing justice to those facing injustice. He reassured that the Supreme Court would operate within the legal framework to ensure justice for all individuals. The CJI’s remarks came after reports misinterpreted the court’s stance on a petition related to alleged police action against student protesters.
