New Delhi, Dec 16 (IANS): The Supreme Court on Monday said it should be first assured that there is peace and no rioting, and then it will be inclined to hear matters connected with the alleged police high-handedness on violent protests in Jamia area in south Delhi against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019.

Chief Justice S.A. Bobde said "first, we want to be assured that there would be peace, and if you want to take to street, then in that scenario, do not come to us".
