Delhi Police Defends CJP March Ban in Supreme Court Affidavit
· India · Hindustan Times, The Hindu
Delhi Police Commissioner Anurag Kumar has defended the police's decision to deny permission for the Cockroach Janta Party's October 10 march in New Delhi. In a counter-affidavit filed in the Supreme Court, the police commissioner described the action as proportionate to maintaining public order. The affidavit cites a recent history of mob violence, destruction of property, and injuries during the organisation's previous July 20 march over the NEET-UG paper leak. The police administration sought the discharge of contempt notices issued over restrictions placed around the October demonstration. The exact details regarding future permissions for the group remain unaddressed in the court filings.
Why it matters
The case tests the legal boundaries between public protest rights and police powers to maintain order during demonstrations in the national capital.
