Public Protests

More than a month after the Supreme Court ruled that public protests must be “in designated areas alone” and that “public ways and public spaces cannot be occupied, and that too indefinitely”, a review petition has been filed before it against the verdict given in the Shaheen Bagh protests case.

The apex court has disapproved of the way in which the Shaheen Bagh protests took place and ruled that such agitations must be in designated areas alone and public spaces cannot be occupied indefinitely.
