Chief Justice of India Surya Kant said he was "misquoted" over remarks suggesting the Supreme Court did not have time to watch videos related to the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest controversy. Speaking on the sidelines of the UNCITRAL conference, the CJI clarified that the Supreme Court is open to every citizen and never refuses to hear any matter, while emphasising that due judicial procedure must be followed. Addressing the controversy surrounding his earlier comments, he reiterated the judiciary's commitment to accessibility and fairness. The clarification comes amid political debate and criticism linked to the student protests and the police crackdown following the July 20 demonstrations. (PC: India Today)
