Live: Delhi HC dismisses review petition of MHA, cancels police plea to lodge FIR against lawyers

Delhi High Court dismissed the application filed by Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) seeking clarification of the court’s November 2 order in the Tis Hazari Court clash between police and lawyers. The court also dismissed another application of the Delhi Police seeking permission to lodge FIR against lawyers in Saket District Court incident.

Delhi High Court advocate Rakesh Khanna said, "They have moved the application for clarification but seeing the facts of the application it seems to be a review application, not a clarification."

Let them go with their application to the existing single judge judicial committee instead of coming here, else lawyers will also come up with various applications again and again: Mathur

We will try to make our best effort to diffuse the situation: Delhi High Court Bar association advocate KC Mittal 

"What is the clarification they want. What they want today is just a stamp from the court to take action. Let them come forward and say that they will take action against the people. We want restoration of law, peace and order," said Delhi High Court Association President Mohit Mathur.

Delhi High Court Bar association advocate KC Mittal said, "The court should take suo motu cognizance of these provocative statements of police."
