Court fiat to police

New Delhi: “In this country you need huntering [flogging] to make you work,” the Supreme Court said on Friday. It was criticising police officials for failure to respond vis-a-vis registering FIRs on public complaints. “Is this Ramrajya in this country...So this is swaraj. This is the concept of swaraj,” said a bench of Justices B N Agrawal and G S Singhvi.
