Supreme Court to Examine PIL Seeking Alternative Protest Venue to Jantar Mantar
The Supreme Court has agreed to examine a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) challenging the suitability of Jantar Mantar as a protest venue in New Delhi. The petition argues that protests there cause inconvenience to residents and disrupt essential services, seeking alternative locations like Ramlila Maidan. The court issued notices to the Centre and asked Solicitor General Tushar Mehta to obtain instructions. The bench also referenced a proposed political march by Arvind Kejriwal, emphasizing the need to avoid incidents like the July 20 Parliament march. The matter will be heard separately.
