Bombay High Court Declines Blanket Ban on Detentions of Anti-CEC Protesters
The Bombay High Court declined to issue a blanket order preventing police detentions of protesters opposing Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, while assuring action if specific illegal detentions are reported. The court heard a petition alleging unlawful detention of hundreds of peaceful demonstrators in Mumbai on October 10 and 11, including women and students, who marched in solidarity with protests in Delhi. The matter is adjourned for further hearing on October 19, with authorities asked to provide details on alleged detentions.
