Supreme Court to List Pleas Seeking Directions to Allow Peaceful Protests in Delhi
The Supreme Court of India agreed to list pleas seeking directions to Delhi Police to permit peaceful protests in the national capital, amid recent demonstrations against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

The bench, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, will first check for similar pending cases before scheduling a hearing. The petitions emphasize the constitutional right to peaceful protest under Article 19.
