Delhi Police Denies Permission for CJP Protests, Imposes Section 163 BNSS
Ahead of the Cockroach Janta Party's planned protests in New Delhi on October 10 and 11 demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation, Delhi Police denied permission citing late application and prior rule violations. Authorities imposed Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), replacing the earlier Section 144 CrPC, to prevent potential public order disturbances. The provision restricts assemblies and demonstrations but is subject to legal limits balancing public order and the right to peaceful protest. The Supreme Court has emphasized reasonable restrictions under constitutional provisions.
