New Delhi: The Supreme Court today agreed to give an urgent hearing tomorrow to a plea seeking action against those involved in thrashing journalists and Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students and teachers in the Patiala House court complex where a student union leader was to be produced.
The petition filed by ND Jaiprakash, an alumnus of JNU, who was hurt in the violence yesterday, sought action against the people involved in the violence and over "inaction" on the part of Delhi Police.
The petition, which was mentioned before a bench headed by Chief JTS Thakur by senior advocate, Indira Jaising, also demanded that the security measures in the court complex, should be such that no person becomes victim of violence.
The petition said the violence witnessed in the court not only endangered the life of JNU Students' Union (JNUSU) president Kanhaiya Kumar, arrested in a case of sedition, but also prevented journalists from carrying out their work of reporting court proceedings.
It said that Mr Kumar will be produced in court again on expiry of his police remand.
The petition also sought a direction to Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and Delhi Police to take all preventive action so that no such violence takes place either inside the court room or within the court complex as such type of activities in the court complex put the life of the accused in peril.
