Lawyers urge Delhi High Court to take suo motu cognisance of suspended ACP's conduct

Lawyers urge Delhi High Court to take suo motu cognisance of suspended ACP's conduct

What's behind this

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday refused to take suo motu cognisance of alleged threatening remarks made by Delhi Police ACP Manasvi Vashishtha against members of the legal fraternity. The court directed the lawyers who raised the issue to file a formal petition. The request for suo motu action had been made by a group of lawyers who said the ACP used derogatory language toward the legal fraternity. The court’s decision therefore leaves the matter to be pursued through a petition rather than immediate judicial intervention.
