On Monday (September 15, 2025), the Supreme Court refused to explore the action for sexual assault and torture of a 17 -year -old boy by the Police Gujarat and asked the petitioner to move the High Court.
“We have all sympathy for you, but why didn’t you approach the High Court?” Judge Vikram and Sandeep Mehta’s bench asked a lawyer who appeared for the petitioner.
The advisor mentioned the brutality that allegedly met with minors.
“Our question is, why couldn’t you turn to the High Court according to (Article) 226?” The bench repeated.
The lawyer referred to one of the prayers for the direction of the India Institute of Medical Sciences (Aiims), the new Delhi to create the Medical Council and to provide the court of the nature and extent of injuries suffered by minors.
“The High Court couldn’t grant it?” The bench asked, after a lawyer said the Supreme Court could deal with prayer.
Referring to several similar cases, the Council continued: “But it is. But the bench said, “You go to the Supreme Court and if the High Court does not deal with your matter, you will return. We will consider your request.” The Supreme Court also rejected the petitioner’s application for the directing of AIIMS in Nový Delhi on the report of injuries suffered by minors.
The advisor, while he agreed to move the High Court, asked the Supreme Court to consider the CCTV Regulation by the footage of the Botad police station.
“It’s worrying today. At the time I go to the High Court, the CCTV shots can be destroyed,” he said.
“If you go there in time, it will not be destroyed,” the bench said, allowing him to withdraw the lawsuit.
The application, submitted by the nurses of the alleged victim, was looking for relief, including the direction of establishing a special investigation team, which does not include police officers Gujarat, for investigating the incident under the supervision of the top court.
Alternatively, the plaintiff tried to direction for the CBI probe monitored by the court.
The application claimed that the minor was picked up on 18 August by the Botad Town Police in Gujarat, which suspects the role of a boy in theft of gold and cash.
He claimed to have been in illegal custody from 19 to August 28 and was brutally beaten by police officers at the police station and underwent sexual assaults.
The application claimed that the minor boy was not made before the advice for juveniles or judges within 24 hours of his arrest, and the police did not perform their medical examination after arrest.
Request for registration of companies on the basis of BNS provisions, POCSO Act, law on juvenile justice (care and protection of children) and any other law to “explore torture and sexual violence”.
