Bombay High Court Declines Blanket Ban on Detentions in Anti-CEC Protests
The Bombay High Court declined to issue a blanket order preventing police detentions during protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar in Mumbai on October 10 and 11. The court emphasized it would intervene if specific illegal detentions were proven. A petition alleged that over 900 people, including women, students, and bystanders, were detained without lawful justification. The court adjourned the matter for further hearing on October 19, requesting detailed evidence of alleged unlawful detentions.
