While imposing exemplary cost of Rs 3 lakhs on Police Inspector & Superiors for an illegal arrest, #KarnatakaHighCourt says that power to arrest is not a license to arrest.
Either the SHO or ACP or DCP would have permitted the illegal action of the investigating officer, or equally worse, been oblivious to it, the court noted
Good to see SCBA and DHCBA Presidents, Sr Advs. Vikas Singh and Hariharan lead from the front in the petitions on police violence on protestors before the Delhi High Court.
DHCBA however has issued no statement of condemnation on the brutal and unprovoked police lathi charge on 20th July, despite requests by members.
DHCBA I know you have been rather busy reading CPC and pecuniary jurisdiction.
Please waste a little time reading Chapter 3 of Indian Constitution.
Bunch of jokers.
After shutting down the metro for whole day, they have opened it for public at 9 PM.
Don't say DMRC shouldn't be blamed. They couldn't even handle crowd exiting from a metro stop. Such a pity state!!
Illegal detentions/arrests/prosecutions of young students protesting peacefully does violence to the very spirit of our Constitution.
My colleagues (at the Chambers) and I pledge to represent them in Delhi Courts, pro-bono.
