Public interest writ petition (W.P.(C) 12566/2025, Sanjay v. LG of Delhi & Anr.) seeking implementation of the Delhi High Court's order dated 27.08.2024 in W.P.(C) 11723/2024, by which the DCP, Outer District and DCP, Rohini were directed to treat the earlier writ petition as a representation and take necessary action in accordance with law. Status reports from PS Sultan Puri, Mangol Puri, Raj Park, Anand Vihar and Prem Nagar recorded commission reports and raids concerning offences under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 and the Delhi Public Gambling Act, 1955. Holding that requisite action had been taken, the Bench (Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tejas Karia) declined to continue the proceedings; taking note of the Petitioner's criminal background and abusive tweets against police on his X Account, it warned him that continued such postings would leave it open to the authorities concerned to take appropriate action. Writ petition disposed of (order dated 07.01.2026).
