Supreme Court to List Pleas Seeking Permission for Peaceful Protests in Delhi
The Supreme Court of India agreed to list pleas seeking directions to the Delhi Police to allow peaceful protests in the national capital, particularly at Jantar Mantar. Petitioners allege that police have been restricting citizens, students, and political representatives from holding lawful demonstrations, especially amid protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar related to the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. The court will first check for similar pending cases before scheduling a hearing to consider the matter further.
