The Supreme Court dismissed a Plea seeking a Judicial Inquiry panel headed by the former Chief Justice of India to probe the recent Religious Conflicts in some states during Ram Navami and Hanuman Jayanti celebrations.

While dismissing the Plea the Supreme Court said, “Don’t ask for such reliefs which cannot be granted by such Court.”

What sort of relief? You want inquiry under former Chief Justice of India of India? Who is free?” Court said.

In his Petition, Tiwari had sought a direction to conduct an inquiry into the clashes in Rajasthan, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat during Ram Navami.

He said the situation was worrying and there were allegations that a one-sided Investigation was going on.

The Petition has also demanded a similar Committee to probe the Arbitrary Action of ‘Bull Dodger Justice’ in three state, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Uttar Pradesh.

Such actions are absolutely discriminatory and do not fit into the Notion of Democracy and Rule of Law,” the Petition said.
