What Happened
The Supreme Court issued directives regarding protests in Delhi, ordering that no one should be illegally arrested or detained, and that internet and metro services should be restored. The court also stated that there should not be a complete prohibition on Delhi Metro and train services, urging authorities to allow controlled services to avoid public inconvenience. These orders were made in response to restrictions implemented ahead of protests planned by the CJP and opposition parties, which led to the closure of up to 57 metro stations and disruptions to railway services.
The court's intervention followed a contempt plea alleging that authorities continued to shut down metro stations and limit public transport despite earlier court orders. The Supreme Court adjourned the pleas concerning protest curbs and the metro shutdown case to a later date due to a judge's ill health. The protests were organized by the CJP and opposition parties, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
