SC invokes Article 142, to hear Centre's plea to quash NEET protest FIRs on Sept 1
The Central government has petitioned the Supreme Court to have the FIRs against protesters dismissed, specifically those involving the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) during the NEET paper leak protests. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta informed a bench led by Chief Justice Surya Kant that the Centre seeks the top court to use its extraordinary powers under Article 142 of the Constitution to quash the FIRs.
In response, CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke shared a photo of himself holding a book by Dr BR Ambedkar, while CJP spokesperson Saurav Das posted a selfie with black sunglasses on X.
