Was Chief Justice’s refusal to take up student case irresponsible? Dushyant Dave responds

from The Interview With Karan Thapar

Was Chief Justice's refusal to take up student case irresponsible? Dushyant Dave calls it "failure of constitutional duty": Dushyant Dave to Karan Thapar for The Wire........................................On Wednesday when a lawyer attempted to convince the Supreme Court to admit a case about how the fundamental rights of young students had been breached when they were beaten up by the police and miscreants the Chief Justice refused to take it up. He said don’t waste our time and don’t waste your time. Today we ask - What should we make of that response? Does it undermine our constitutional fundamental rights? Does it weaken the Supreme Court’s duty to protect those rights? Does it negate the power of Article 32, which was drafted to defend those rights? And how would Dr Ambedkar view all of this? Those are the issues I shall raise with one of India’s most highly regarded constitutional lawyers and a former president of the Supreme Court Bar Association, Dushyant Dave.
