Delhi HC rejects PIL on removing blockades at Singhu border

New Indian Express  

NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Monday dismissed a public interest litigation seeking the removal of roadblocks on National Highway 44 at the Singhu Border as it has been causing inconvenience to commuters. A division bench consisting of Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela advised the petitioners to file a formal representation with the Delhi Police Commissioner to expedite the matter. During the proceedings, it was brought to the court’s attention that despite the absence of a farmers’ protest for over seven months, barricades and roadblocks remained at the Singhu Border. Chief Justice Manmohan noted that the court was not the appropriate body to decide on such matters and that authorities might have intelligence reasons for maintaining the roadblocks.
