(Jahangirpuri Riots) ‘Appears To Be Of A Phishing Kind’: High Court Dismisses Plea By Accused Alleging Harassment By Delhi Police

Case: Sheikh Ishrafil V. State (Nct) Of Delhi & Ors.

Coram: Justice Asha Menon

Case No.: W.P.(CRL) 937/2022

Court Observation: “In the light of the facts and circumstances, as noted hereinabove, this does not appear to be a case in which the police have contacted the petitioner and his family only with ill-motives to harass them. The police have to find out who were the perpetrators of the various offences committed on 16th April, 2022 and as a citizen of this country, it is only to be expected that while the petitioner seeks enforcement of his Fundamental Rights, he would also do his duties and help the police resolve the crime and apprehend the perpetrators,”

“In these facts and circumstances, it is evident that the petitioner has moved this petition to thwart investigations. The court cannot allow itself to be used in such a fashion, which may lead to interference with the investigations, and which has been always frowned upon by the courts,”
