Chief Justice of India Surya Kant on Friday objected to what he described as ‘false reporting’ by sections of the media over his recent remarks concerning a mention related to the ongoing student protests in Delhi, Bar & Bench reported.
According to Bar & Bench, the CJI clarified in open court that no petition had been filed before the Supreme Court regarding the alleged police excesses on student protesters and that only a representation had been made before him.
‘Some person mentioned it. Media has falsely reported that I refused to list the matter. It was only a representation and people started recklessly reporting it. I checked with the registry and not a paper was filed,’ the CJI said.
The clarification came after reports suggested that the CJI had, on July 22, declined to list a petition alleging police brutality against students protesting at Jantar Mantar.
