IYC President Challenges Police Denial of Jantar Mantar Protest Permission in Delhi HC
Indian Youth Congress president Uday Bhanu Chib has filed a petition in the Delhi High Court challenging the police's refusal to grant permission for a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar. The petition argues that the police improperly used their regulatory powers to prohibit the demonstration, which was planned for 100-150 participants with compliance to security and public order conditions. It cites constitutional rights to peaceful assembly and challenges the police's decision as lacking individual assessment. The move follows a recent IYC protest demanding the Election Commission chief's resignation.
