Tis Hazari Clash: SC refuses to entertain plea filed by lawyers

The Supreme Court on Monday refused to entertain a plea filed by some advocates seeking disciplinary action against police personnel who sat on protest after the lawyers-police clash at Tis Hazari court complex and asked them to approach the Delhi High Court for relief.

The top court said the high court is seized of the matter and had passed several orders in the matter.

A bench of Justices Arun Mishra and Indira Banerjee refused to entertain the plea but gave liberty to the petitioners including advocate G S Mani to approach the high court.

It asked the high court for speedy disposal of the matter.

Earlier, the top court had sought placing of orders passed by the Delhi High Court on the lawyers-police clash at Tis Hazari court complex and the subsequent protest by the policemen at their headquarters.

It had said it doesn't want to start a parallel proceeding since the high court is seized of the matter.
