Supreme Court Seeks Responses on Delhi Metro Station Closures During Protests
The Supreme Court has sought responses from the Centre, Delhi Police, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation, and Delhi government regarding the closure of 17 Delhi Metro stations during the Cockroach Janata Party protests. The court is examining whether the shutdown was legally justified and proportionate, noting the absence of formal orders or standard procedures for such closures. While courts typically defer to executive decisions on law and order, they may intervene if actions are deemed disproportionate. The closures disrupted commuter movement, including access to the Supreme Court station.
