The HPEC which is to be headed by Justice Subhash Reddy, former Judge, Supreme Court of India, was requested to consider issues highlighted by the parties and to prioritise investigation into alleged harassment, and molestation of female protestors.
Supreme Court clarified that “criminal antecedents” in its NEET 2026 protest order refers only to “grave and heinous offences” and held that NCT of Delhi and other States are at liberty to decide closure or withdrawal of FIRs in accordance with law.
The Court directed that all CCTV footage, drone footage, body-worn camera recordings, videography, wireless communication records, and PCR lodge collections related to the students’ protest be preserved.
“The procedural delay of 16 years in the case has given an opportunity to the police and the State to cover their tracks in a manner that the truth remains obscured. The attempts by this Court to now lay its hands on the videography evidence get obfuscated on account of this delay.”
