SC hears petition on lawyer access during probe
Hindustan Times
|October 16, 2025
The Supreme Court on Wednesday sought response of Centre, states and Union territories on a petition requiring every person arrested or summoned by investigating agencies to have access to a lawyer during any enquiry or investigation.
The court passed the order while hearing a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by a lawyer Shaffi Mather who claimed that despite this right having been statutorily recognised and attested by judgments of the top court, it is arbitrarily enforced by police and investigating agencies.
A bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) Bhushan R Gavai and justice K Vinod Chandran issued notice on Mather’s petition after it was shown data indicating repeated instances of torture during interrogation.
