"Govt of day is handicapped; it can't register an FIR because there is judicial order": V-P Jagdeep Dhankhar

Jun 06, 2025

The Vice-President of India, Jagdeep Dhankhar, today said, "The Government of the day is handicapped. It can't register an FIR. Because there is a judicial order. And that judicial order is more than three decades old. It provides virtually impregnable cover. Unless permission is accorded by a functionary at the highest level in the judiciary, an FIR can't be registered. So I pose a question to myself, in deep pain, worried, concerned, in anguish -- why was that permission not given? That was the minimum that could have been done on the earliest occasion."
