Supreme Court Seeks Government Response on Jantar Mantar De-notification as Protest Site
The Supreme Court has issued notice to the Centre and Delhi Police on petitions challenging the de-notification of Jantar Mantar as a designated protest site, replaced by three alternative venues. The court questioned whether the decision involved proper consideration of the site's suitability, with petitioners emphasizing the importance of proximity to government establishments for effective protests. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta clarified the decision followed a committee's recommendations, not a prior court order. The court also addressed related concerns about police actions during protests.
