NEW DELHI: Chief Justice of India Surya Kant on Friday dismissed as “reckless” media reports that he had denied urgent hearing on a plea challenging the July 20 police action against students, saying it was only a representation and not a petition.
No such petition was filed, he stated.
“In the last two days, a completely false statement was made that a matter was filed, and the media is absolutely free from all responsibility and falsely reporting that the Chief Justice refused to list the matter,” he said.
