The reasons why the Delhi Police has moved the Supreme Court are laid out in the application itself.
It states that as per the decision taken by the Central Government on July 25, 2026, the Delhi Police no longer wishes to pursue the FIRs registered in connection with the CJP protests spread over 20th to 25th July 2026.
The application explains that the 13 FIRs, registered at police stations including Barakhamba Road, Kartavya Path, Parliament Street, Mandir Marg, Connaught Place and Parliament Street invoke offences of rioting, attempt to murder, damage to public property and robbery under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, corresponding IPC provisions and the Preventio of Damage to Public Property Act, 1984.
