The Supreme Court of India, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, declined to urgently hear a petition alleging police brutality during a protest against the National Testing Agency (NTA) reforms.

The petition, filed by advocate Narendra Mishra, sought an investigation into videos showing police using lathicharges and other force against unarmed students during the July 20 'Chalo Sansad' march.The CJI instructed the petitioner not to waste the court's time by submitting videos, emphasizing the need for legal recourse instead.The court's refusal followed similar rejections by the Delhi High Court, highlighting concerns over judicial overreach.

The protest, organized by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), demanded the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over exam leak allegations.Despite police claims of violence by protesters, hospital reports indicated over 100 injuries, with one woman in critical condition.The incident sparked political backlash, with Opposition leaders demanding accountability and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's apology.The case remains pending for further hearings, underscoring tensions between protest rights and law enforcement actions.
