Supreme Court Urges Restraint and Counselling in Handling Student Protests
The Supreme Court of India emphasized that authorities should respond to student protests with restraint, counselling, and dialogue to prevent violence. The court highlighted the importance of listening to young protesters to understand their grievances, cautioning that aggressive state action could escalate tensions. While agreeing to hear a plea seeking accountability for organisers of the July 20 'Sansad Chalo' march linked to NEET-UG paper leak protests, the court stressed that peaceful demonstrations must be protected and law enforcement should exercise caution even amid isolated violent incidents.
