The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued notices to the Centre and other respondents while hearing a batch of petitions challenging the Delhi Police’s crackdown on protests against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar.
The bench, comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and JV Mohana, also took up a plea filed by the Kirana Committee Delhi seeking a halt to protests during the festive season. The proceedings witnessed sharp exchanges over the right to protest, alleged police excesses, restrictions on public spaces and the impact of demonstrations on businesses.
