Farmers' Protest | Supreme Court Refuses To Entertain Ex-BJP MLA's Plea To Remove Protesters From Delhi Borders; Asks Him To Approach HC

Live Law  

The Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to entertain a public interest litigation petition seeking the immediate removal of farmers from the borders of Delhi, amidst the ongoing farmers' protest demanding minimum price guarantees for their crops. It is submitted that such type of protest is direct assault to the rule of law which is the foundation of our democratic country.…The protest is not only held in undesignated areas but also there is additional blockage in the public way which causes great inconvenience to the commuters.” Citing legal precedents and court decisions regarding the right to protest in public spaces, Dr Garg stressed that there is no absolute right to hold such protests and it is subject to reasonable restrictions. The antisocial elements masquerading as farmers have also gathered on the borders of NCT of Delhi with thousands of agricultural tractors and trollies, the government agencies, raising anti-national slogans, tearing and kicking the national flag with a view to cease the normal activities by the common people.” Not only an injunction against protesting farmers, but the petitioner also sought 'comprehensive and exhaustive guidelines' relating to restrictions on such protests and agitations that lead to obstruction of public places. Background The Supreme Court's refusal to entertain this latest PIL comes as thousands of Indian farmers have resumed their march to Delhi amidst heavy barricading and intensifying police presence, in an effort to push the government to meet their demands.
