A Delhi court has summoned two police officers over the death of a 23-year-old man beaten with lathis during the 2020 riots. The court said the officials, entrusted as custodians of the law, appeared driven by bigoted mindsets.
Justice B V Nagarathna emphasised that preserving the rule of law is central to democracy, stressing that courts must enforce it “without fear or favour, affection or ill will,” upholding impartial justice as their highest constitutional duty.
