Solicitor General Tushar Mehta on Tuesday told the Supreme Court that the Centre remains committed to implementing all three assurances given to the leadership of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) during discussions held between the two sides.
The submission came as Saurav Das appeared in person before the Supreme Court, following a request from Solicitor General Mehta to allow the settlement reached between the Centre and the CJP to be placed before the court.
Mehta, representing the Centre and the Delhi Police, made it clear that the government continues to stand by the commitments made during the negotiations.
‘As Of Now, We Are Committed To Fulfilling All Three Assurances’
Addressing the Supreme Court, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said: “As of now, we are committed to fulfilling all three assurances.”
The assurances relate to the cases registered during the CJP’s protest over the NEET paper leak.
Under the first assurance, the Centre had agreed that the FIRs registered between July 20 and July 25 would not be pursued.
The second commitment was that no new FIRs would be registered in relation to the matter.
The third assurance concerns compensation for students who died by suicide, allegedly in connection with the NEET paper leak controversy.
The submissions before the Supreme Court come amid continuing legal proceedings concerning the protests and the government’s commitments to the CJP leadership.
Saurav Das’s in-person appearance before the court followed Mehta’s request that the understanding reached between the Centre and the protesting group be considered by the Supreme Court.
The Centre’s latest statement indicates that it continues to support the three-point arrangement and intends to honour the assurances made during the discussions.
