India SC directs petitioners to Delhi HC over BCI office assault probe

India's Supreme Court, led by CJI Surya Kant, declined to directly hear a plea alleging physical assault and forcible removal of protesters from Bar Council of India (BCI) premises, directing petitioners to approach the Delhi High Court. The incident involves lawyers Kunal Yadav and others claiming they were attacked during a peaceful protest. The move signals a procedural routing rather than a substantive ruling, leaving the assault allegations unexamined at the top court level.
