CJP legal affairs head moves Delhi Court Separately, Ratna Singh, the legal affairs head of CJP, has approached a Delhi court seeking registration of an FIR against police personnel, alleging that she was wrongfully confined and prevented from attending the October 10 protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
Singh was sitting in a car with advocate Tara Narula after returning to the area outside her residence when she was allegedly prevented from moving, according to the plea. In an application filed before Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Abhinav Pandey at Saket District Court, Singh sought directions for registration of an FIR and a status report from the police regarding the alleged incident. It claimed that two cars blocked her vehicle from the front and rear, while police personnel remained outside. Singh alleged that she was wrongfully restrained and that the police personnel did not explain the legal basis for the alleged restriction despite her asking them to do so. The plea comes amid protests by members of the legal fraternity against Gyanesh Kumar. The proposed demonstration has brought the right to peaceful assembly and the role of police in regulating protests into focus.
