In re: Alleged illegal detention and police excess during Delhi CEC protests

The Delhi Union of Journalists has filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court of India alleging police violence against independent reporters during protests in Delhi. The Court has reportedly sought a response from the Delhi Police regarding these allegations.

The Delhi High Court set aside an order by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) that directed the Delhi Police to pay ₹5 lakh as compensation to the family of Rashid Raza, who died while in police custody. The court ruled that there was no evidence of negligence on the part of the police and held that liability could not be presumed.

A public interest litigation (PIL) filed before the Delhi High Court challenges the government's mandate requiring biometric Aadhaar authentication for LPG refills. The petitioner contends that this requirement creates significant hardship for individuals with visual impairments and disabilities, while also questioning the lack of statutory backing for the mandate.
