The Supreme Court declined to entertain a petition filed by former Delhi mayor, demanding an FIR against Uttar Pradesh police officers involved in a raid.
The Supreme Court of India on Thursday refused to entertain a petition filed by a former mayor of Delhi. The petition sought the filing of a First Information Report (FIR) against officers of the Uttar Pradesh police who were involved in a raid.
The former mayor’s plea was directed at the central judiciary, requesting that the police officers be held accountable for the alleged misconduct during the raid. The petition was presented to the court in an attempt to trigger a formal investigation.
In its order, the Supreme Court declined to consider the request, effectively ending the legal avenue for the petitioner to pursue an FIR through the court. No further details were provided regarding the court’s reasoning.
The decision means that the matter will not be pursued through the Supreme Court, and any potential investigation would have to be initiated by other legal or law‑enforcement bodies.
