A CJI SA Bobde led bench is hearing a plea seeking to prevent extrajudicial killings in India

CJI: we agree it should be prevented but how can we stop this?

#SupremeCourt
Senior Adv Jitendra Sharma: I am not saying accused should not be handcuffed, but a request needs to be made before the magistrate for it

CJI: some prisoners are dangerous and they need to be handcuffed
Sharma reads SC verdict saying accused will not be handcuffed as a general rule.

CJI: a accused intends to assault the police and you want magistrate to ask him whether he wants to be handcuffed? Only a foolish person will say yes to handcuff. There are the ones who kill police
CJI led bench dismisses plea

CJI: sorry, we won't entertain this.

Matter over
