The Supreme Court on Monday declined to entertain a plea which sought its direction for effectively dealing with the law and order situation in troubled Muzaffarnagar.
The court questioned the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA), which made the oral plea before a bench headed by Chief Justice P Sathasivam, for bypassing the Allahabad high court for redressal of their grievance when it was against the alleged inaction of state government.
‘Tell us why are you bypassing the High Court and directly coming to the SC. At this juncture we can’t entertain the plea,’ the bench said. However, the bench later said the SCBA can file the petition before the apex court giving details of the incidents and reasons for it to move the top court.
SCBA president MN Krishnamani and its members brought the issue of communal violence by placing before it media reports, saying that the state government has not effectively handled the situation in which 28 persons have been reportedly killed. They said situation was worse than what has been reported and they are approaching the apex court.
