Chief Justice of India Surya Kant has dismissed media reports claiming he refused to hear a petition related to police action against student protesters. On July 22, a lawyer had sought an urgent hearing before a bench led by the CJI, raising concerns about the alleged use of force during a protest march in New Delhi on July 20. The CJI clarified that no formal petition challenging the police action was filed. He described the media reports as 'reckless' and stated that only a letter representation was mentioned by the lawyer. The clarification came two days after the issue was raised in court. The protest was organized by the Cockroach Janta Party, according to reports. The CJI's statement aims to correct the narrative that the Supreme Court had refused to consider the matter.
