Delhi Police Seeks Dismissal of Habeas Corpus Plea Over Mamata Banerjee Protest Removal
Delhi Police informed the Supreme Court that no arrests or detentions occurred during the October 10 protest involving Mamata Banerjee and other TMC leaders. The police stated the habeas corpus plea filed by Menaka Guruswamy had become infructuous, as the leaders were removed for violating prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. The protest was held without official permission amid restrictions aimed at maintaining public order near sensitive locations. The police urged dismissal of the petition, emphasizing that the leaders were treated respectfully and allowed to leave after being taken to a police station.
