CJI Declines to Take Cognisance of Police Violence During CJP's Parliament March

The Supreme Court has declined to take cognisance of police violence during the CJP's Parliament march, citing a lack of interest in video evidence. The incident occurred on July 20, when protesters clashed with security personnel. According to The Hindu, the CJP had filed a petition alleging excessive police force during the march. However, the Supreme Court rejected the plea, stating that it did not have the jurisdiction to take up the matter. The decision has sparked concerns about the lack of accountability in the police force and the need for stricter guidelines to prevent such incidents. The incident has also raised questions about the role of the Supreme Court in addressing police brutality. The Hindu reported that the CJP had provided video evidence of the police violence, but the Supreme Court declined to take cognisance of it.
