SC Dismisses Police Brutality Plea as Waste of Time
On 22 July, a lawyer named Narendra Mishra went to the Supreme Court to talk about a serious issue.
He showed videos that he said proved the police were too harsh with students during a protest.
But the Chief Justice, Surya Kant, told him not to waste the court's time and said they didn't want to watch the videos.
The court didn't say if the videos were real or if the police did anything wrong.
Other similar cases were already being looked at by a lower court.
