Supreme Court Prohibits Occupation Of Public Spaces For Protests
The Supreme Court on October 7 said that though people have a right to protest, they cannot occupy public spaces indefinitely. The court added that the authorities should take action to clear protests from public places. The court was hearing a plea against blockade at Shaheen Bagh in Delhi during CAA-protests. Moreover, it allowed the government authorities to decide the manner in which protestors can be removed from such places.
