Delhi High Court Questions Police Over Protest Ban at Jantar Mantar
The Delhi High Court questioned the Delhi Police's refusal to grant the Kshatriya Karni Sena permission to hold a protest at Jantar Mantar against the UGC's 2026 equity regulations. The police initially indicated approval but later denied permission citing concerns over crowd size and the area's sensitivity. The court asked why a complete ban was imposed instead of imposing conditions or suggesting an alternative venue. The police cited Supreme Court guidelines and security concerns, while the petitioner challenged the blanket refusal.
