SC bench sits today; petitions unclear
Reports say pleas on alleged police excess during July 20 NEET protests may be up before the Chief Justice’s bench today. The Supreme Court’s public cause list confirms the date and bench — not the specific cases.
The Supreme Court is listed to sit on July 27, but the public cause list does not identify the reported protest petitions.
The Supreme Court cause list shows a sitting on July 27, 2026 before Chief Justice Surya Kant with Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V. Mohana. The list available publicly does not identify any case about the July 20 Delhi protest over NEET.
A report citing senior advocate Gopal Sankaranarayanan says petitions alleging excessive force against protesters — including lathi-charge, assault, tear gas and detentions — were mentioned and were to be taken up today. Separate coverage confirms that a PIL on the July 20 protest has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking action, and describes allegations of excessive force, but primary court documents were not accessible to verify the case numbers, titles or reliefs.
Earlier reporting says the Delhi High Court has issued notice in matters related to the July 20 protest and directed preservation of CCTV and other records; the order itself was not located in the material reviewed. Any official account from Delhi Police or the Centre on the use of force was also not available in the accessible record.
