The Supreme Court of India has refused to urgently hear a petition alleging excessive police force against protesters during a demonstration organized by the Cockroach Janta Party.Chief Justice Surya Kant dismissed the plea, stating the bench was 'not interested in videos' showing alleged police brutality.

The petition, filed after security forces used tear gas and lathi charges to disperse protesters, was mentioned before a bench of Kant and Justice V Mohana.The lawyer representing the petitioners sought an urgent hearing on Thursday, citing video evidence of police excesses.However, the court emphasized it had no time to review such materials.

The protest, linked to the Cockroach Janta Party's campaign against Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, faced criticism from the government and police, who denied using pellet guns and accused protesters of violence.

The case highlights tensions between protest rights and law enforcement actions, with the court's stance reflecting a broader reluctance to intervene in such matters.The Delhi High Court had similarly rejected a similar petition earlier, urging authorities to resolve disputes outside judicial channels.This incident underscores the complex dynamics of public demonstrations and the judiciary's role in balancing civil liberties with law and order.
