Supreme Court Considers Compensation Over Connaught Place Protest Impact on Traders
The Supreme Court of India addressed concerns over the Cockroach Janata Party's proposed protest at Connaught Place, Delhi, highlighting the potential disruption to traders' livelihoods during the festive season. The court noted it would consider compensation if restrictions imposed by the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) were found disproportionate and caused unlawful business losses estimated at around Rs 200-250 crore daily. The bench emphasized balancing the right to protest with traders' rights and law and order, scheduling further hearings after the Dussehra vacation.
