Supreme Court Orders Delhi Govt to Treat Pellet Gun Injuries

Supreme Court Orders Delhi Govt to Treat Pellet Gun Injuries

The Supreme Court of India said the Delhi government must give doctors to people hurt by pellet guns at a protest in Jantar Mantar.

The court also said that banning all pellet guns is not the right way to solve the problem.

Instead, it wants rules that tell police how to use them safely.

The people who asked the court were a former spy‑agency director and two protest participants.

The court told the police that they can use pellet guns only if the rules say so, and that the rules should be checked if they are wrong.

The court also asked the government to keep records of the incident.

The decision means the government must help the injured and look at the rules about pellet guns.

It does not stop the police from using them if the rules allow it.

The court wants to make sure the rules are fair and safe for everyone.
