Supreme Court Summons Protest Organisers Amid Delhi Curbs Row

Hindustan Times · india

The Supreme Court has summoned protest organisers to appear at 2 PM today regarding the extensive curbs imposed in Delhi for proposed October 10 demonstrations. The court seeks to balance the right to peaceful assembly against the disruption of essential services for millions. A bench, including the Chief Justice, questioned the necessity of shutting down 57 metro stations and other restrictions. Lawyers for the organisers argued the protest is peaceful and questioned the scale of the shutdown, while the Solicitor General defended the measures to prevent unlawful acts.
