CAA protests: Approach HCs first with pleas, says SC

The Supreme Court on Tuesday said high courts should be approached first on pleas alleging police atrocities on persons protesting against the amended Citizenship Act.

The court also asked as to how buses were burnt during the protests.

A bench headed by Chief Justice S A Bobde commenced hearing on pleas including that of Alumni Association Jamia Millia Islamia University.

"We don't want to spend time knowing facts, you should go to courts below first," said the bench.
