Plea in Supreme Court seeks reconstitution of committee probing July 20 protest incidents
A plea was mentioned before the Supreme Court seeking reconstitution of the five-member committee headed by former judge Justice R Subhash Reddy, which is examining allegations of police excesses against student protesters and violence against police during the July 20 protest march. The Solicitor General opposed the plea.
A plea was mentioned in the Supreme Court on Tuesday seeking reconstitution of the five-member High-Powered Expert Committee (HPEC) headed by former top court judge Justice R Subhash Reddy. The committee is examining allegations of police excesses against student protesters in Delhi and violence against police personnel during the July 20 Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) protest march.
Senior advocate Gopal Sankaranarayanan mentioned the matter before a bench of the Supreme Court, seeking its listing next week on the ground that the petitioners had reservations about the composition of the committee. Advocate Prashant Bhushan, appearing for some of the petitioners, supported the request and said it reflected a "common concern" among the petitioners.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Delhi Police and the Centre, opposed the plea and termed it "very mischievous." The plea's specific prayer is to reconstitute the committee, whose full terms were not detailed in the available source.
