Rohini Court Shootout: Delhi HC Takes Suo Motu Cognizance

Taking suo motu cognizance of the recent firing at Rohini court, the Delhi high court on Thursday issued a notice to the Centre, Delhi government and Delhi Police among other stakeholders seeking suggestions on maintaining security on court premises.

“We have taken suo motu cognizance of the incident which took place in Rohini court. This court wants valuable suggestions from respondents for security at all court complexes in Delhi,” said the Chief Justice.

Stating that there was a need for a sufficient number of police personnel on the premises and installation of CCTV cameras to increase security, the high court asked the respondents to submit their suggestions in the form of an affidavit.

The Bench also made it clear that it is not allowing separate petitions to be filed on this subject and any person interested in the matter is welcome to set forth their suggestions by filing interventions.
