Supreme Court Urges Restraint and Counselling in Student Protests, Seeks Organiser Accountability
The Supreme Court of India emphasized restraint and counselling in response to student protests linked to the NEET-UG paper leak and the July 20 'Sansad Chalo' march. Chief Justice Surya Kant urged authorities to listen to protesters and avoid aggressive actions that could escalate violence. While the court agreed to hear a plea seeking accountability for organisers allegedly inciting violence, it stressed pacifying youth despite isolated stone-pelting incidents. The matter was tagged with other related petitions on protest violence and police conduct.
