Anna did NOT disrespect national flag, says court

February 09, 2012 11:39

A Delhi court here has refused to direct the Delhi Police to register an FIR against Anna Hazare and his team members for allegedly disrespecting the national flag during their anti-graft protest in August last year.

"In the complaint, nothing has been mentioned or submitted during arguments as to why FIR should be registered in the matter," Metropolitan Magistrate Anil Kumar said on a private complaint for registration of FIR against Team Anna.

"I am of the considered opinion that if the entire evidence is within the reach of the complainant and no cusodial interrogation or discovery of any fact is required
then registration of FIR is not required to be ordered," he added.
