Bombay High Court Declines Blanket Ban on Police Detentions in CEC Protests
The Bombay High Court declined to issue a blanket order preventing police detentions of protesters opposing Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The court heard a petition alleging illegal detentions of hundreds of peaceful demonstrators in Mumbai on October 10 and 11, including women and students. While the court assured action if specific illegalities are proven, it asked the petitioner to provide evidence of unlawful detentions. The matter is adjourned for further hearing on October 19, with authorities seeking instructions on the allegations.
