The Delhi High Court on Monday dismissed a petition which sought action against the police and intelligence officials, claiming that their alleged failure in “anticipating and controlling” the farmers’ protest on Republic Day led to their forced entry into the Red Fort.
A Bench of Chief Justice D.N. Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh rejected the petition saying it was too early for the court to interfere as the police has already registered FIRs in relation to the January 26 incident.
The NGO, Delhi Citizen Forum for Civil Rights, in its petition had claimed that the incident occurred due to major lapses in the security set-up and also violated the national honour as instead of the national flag a religious one was hoisted at the Red Fort.
