New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday dismissed a petition that sought directions to the Centre to review Parliament’s existing security framework. The court, according to reports, stated that such matters fall within the government’s jurisdiction, not the court’s.
“The safety and security aspect of Parliament is to be looked into by the government. Let all these things be left to the government and Parliament. Leave courts for deciding the disputes. We’ll not entertain any such petition. This is not the forum,” a bench of chief justice DK Upadhyaya and justice Tejas Karia told the petitioner, as reported by HT.
The petitioner, Raj Singh, had argued that the issue has assumed greater significance in recent years due to the increasing frequency of large public gatherings and demonstrations that targeted the Parliament.
