Delhi Police Denies Permission for CJP Protest, Imposes Section 163
· India · Indian Express, Zee News
Delhi Police has denied permission for demonstrations planned by the Cockroach Janta Party in New Delhi on October 9 and 10. The protests were organised to demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Authorities cited a late application and rule violations during a previous demonstration as the reasons for denying permission. In response, officials have imposed Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita in the New Delhi district to prevent potential disturbances. The provision empowers executive magistrates to issue prohibitory orders where immediate prevention is necessary.
Why it matters
The imposition of Section 163 restricts public assemblies and movement in central Delhi, directly affecting residents and commuters during the planned protest dates.
