How can you seek permission to protest when sec 144 enforced in city, Delhi HC asks AAP

New Indian Express  

NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court asked the AAP on Friday how a “ruling” political party could seek permission to hold a protest in the national capital when there was a prohibitory order in force against gatherings in view of ongoing farmers’ protests. Justice Subramonium Prasad, while hearing the Aam Aadmi Party’s petition challenging the police’s refusal to allow it to hold a “peaceful protest” of 800 people at Jantar Mantar on February 25 in relation to allegedly inflated water bills, said if the permission is granted to the party, a floodgate of other such applications will open. The senior counsel appearing in the matter on the petitioner’s behalf said even after the section 144 order, thousands of people were allowed to hold gatherings and permission was also granted to a political party with a “much larger fanfare”. “We are going to have it on Sunday, within the confined area, a peaceful protest with only 800 people,” the senior lawyer said.
