Supreme Court to Form Committee of Ex-Judge and CBI Chief to Examine CJP Protest
· India · Indian Express, NDTV, Hindustan Times
The Supreme Court has announced it will create a high‑powered committee consisting of a former Supreme Court judge, a former CBI Director and other experts to look into issues arising from the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest that has lasted more than a month on Jantar Mantar road in New Delhi. The panel will examine complaints, conduct of the protest and related public‑order matters. Court officials have asked political parties to propose terms of reference for the committee. An order setting up the committee is expected by tomorrow. The CJP protest has drawn large crowds of supporters who have maintained a continuous demonstration at the site.
Why it matters
The committee’s findings could shape how the government and authorities respond to future large‑scale protests and may influence legal and policing procedures in public assemblies.
