#DelhiHighCourt to continue hearing plea challenging the appointment of Rakesh Asthana as Commissioner of Police, Delhi.

Court will hear an intervention application by CPIL alleging that the main petition is a “copy paste” of CPIL’s petition in Supreme Court.

#RakeshAsthana
The Court had yesterday adjourned the matter for perusing both the petitions.

lawbeat.in/top-stories/ev…
Matter begins.

Advocate Prashant Bhushan appears for CPIL in an intervention application.

Bhushan- The Petition filed by Sadre Alam is a complete copy paste of our petition. His prayer is also a copy paste of our petition.

#rakeshasthana
Bhushan- Its a total mala fide petition. He is referring the Supreme Court as the High Court because he has copies everything from our petition.

#RakeshAsthana
Bench- Its alright what’s your prayer?

Bhushan- My prayer is to intervene and allow this petition. He has violated the rules framed by this court.

#Rakeshasthana
SGI Tushar Mehta- It appears that Mr Alam has copied and allowed the steps of Mr Bhushan and he should be stopped. He seems to have copied Mr Bhushan which is very dangerous path and your lordship must prevent him for his own good.
My learned friend has made reckless allegations
Mr Bhushan’s application must be admitted and Mr Alam must be answerable to this Court. However both of them have no interest in this petition. Let this debutant be held with harsh hands. This is not jantar mantar or Ramleela where anybody can come.

#Rakeshasthana
Mehta-Somebody who has lost the race may come but what is the source of this PIL. Mr Bhushan must be impleaded and transposed as the the main petitioner and I have no objection on it.
These are intermeddlers and there is a law against such intermeddlers.

#Rakeshasthana
Bench to BS Bagga for petitioner- Have you copies from Mr Bhushan’s petition?

Bagga- We have not copied anything mylord. I will argues the case.

Bench- So Mr Bhushan has copied it?

Bagga- I am not making any allegations against my learned senior.

#Rakeshasthana
SG Mehta- Mr Bhushan had filed the petition earlier. Mr Bhushan must have circulated it to the media.

Bhushan- Yes after it was filed copies were shared.

Mehta- So the petitioner is guilty of plagiarism.

#Rakeshasthana
Order

Application allowed.

Bhushan- I don’t wish to argue here, my petition is pending before Supreme Court and this petition should be dismissed with costs.

#Rakeshasthana #DelhiHighCourt
Bench- Alright application allowed and disposed.
Notice issued to the respondents.

Matter to be heard on September 8.

Delhi High Court denies bail to two accused persons in #DelhiRiots case of violence against the @DelhiPolice in which HC Ratan Lal lost his life.
Noting that the footage of the two accused persons at the "Scene of Crime is quite egregious," the court said it was "sufficient to keep the Petitioner(s) in custody."
Comparing the cases to those of other accused who were given bail in the matter, the court said the Petitioners "did not satisfy the ingredients to claim bail on ground of parity with the other co-accused...as none of those co-accused...were caught in an overt act..."
