New Delhi: A court Saturday rejected CJP legal affairs head Ratna Singh’s plea seeking registration of an FIR against police personnel for alleged wrongful confinement and preventing her from attending a lawyers’ protest against chief election commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over the conduct of Special Intensive Revision.
She was heading towards the protest with two fellow advocates when she was prevented from leaving her residence, according to her application. Singh said she was sitting in a car outside her house with advocate Tara Narula when two vehicles blocked her way from the front and rear, while police personnel remained at the doors. Singh, a practising advocate who was represented by advocate Adit S Pujari, had sought directions for registration of an FIR and a status report from police. Singh claimed that she faced a threat to her life and liberty, and urged the court to examine a video of the incident.
