Bombay High Court Allows Manoj Jarange's Mumbai Protest, Emphasizes Right to Agitate
The Bombay High Court declined to restrain Maratha reservation activist Manoj Jarange Patil from entering Mumbai to protest, emphasizing the fundamental right to agitate in a democracy. The court noted no permission had been sought for the protest and rejected preventive bans based on apprehension alone. It directed the Maharashtra government to manage law and order and provide medical assistance to Jarange if needed. Petitioners cited last year's disruptions, but the court stressed orders cannot be based on speculation and will intervene if situations arise.
