Badlapur sexual abuse: lawyer wants Bombay HC to take up issue

MUMBAI: A city-based lawyer on Tuesday requested the Bombay High Court to take suo motu (on its own) cognisance of the alleged sexual assault of two girls at a school in Badlapur town of Maharashtra.

Advocate Ajinkya Gaikwad approached Justice Bharati Dangre with his plea in the evening, but the judge asked him to approach the appropriate division or two-member bench.

A single bench cannot hear such matters, Justice Dangre said.
