SC ‘Extremely Disappointed’ With Centre on Farmers’ Protests: CJI

The Quint  

He also at multiple times made it clear that the court was not going to stop the protests. The Chief Justice also pointed out that the court and the government couldn’t just wait around here as there is always a chance that if there was a stray incident at one of the protest sites, there could then be violence or bloodshed which they would then be responsible for. Senior advocates Harish Salve, representing one of the parties asking for moving of the people at the protest sites, argued that the protests should take place according to guidelines on the right to protest previously laid down by the Supreme Court in the Shaheen Bagh judgment and others. The CJI refused this, saying that “Nobody reads a judgment and launches a protest.” Attorney General KK Venugopal, representing the Centre, argued that the apex court couldn’t stay laws passed by Parliament except in limited circumstances. The CJI expressed his skepticism over this claim, and senior advocate Dushyant Dave also strongly contested this, saying there was no intention in any of the statements about the tractor rally about disrupting the parade.
