Center Owned by HT MediaDelhi high court refuses to take suo motu cognisance of suspended ACP’s remarks on lawyers
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.
