The Delhi High Court will hear a plea on September 3 challenging the Lieutenant Governor’s order that allows police officials to record evidence virtually from police stations, amid the ongoing strike by lawyers in the capital’s district judiciary.
The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) has strongly opposed the Delhi LG’s notification designating police stations for recording evidence of police officials. SCBA calls the move “arbitrary, unlawful, and against natural justice.”
The Andhra Pradesh High Court, presided by Justice Venkata Jyothirmai Pratapa, quashed a disciplinary penalty on police constable G. Srikanth, citing lack of legally admissible evidence and procedural flaws in the inquiry process. The court emphasized that significant penalties require substantial proof and adherence to natural justice principles.
