What's behind this
The Supreme Court on Tuesday examined petitions concerning demonstrations at Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan that are against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, hearing allegations of police excesses, mass detentions and restrictions on journalists. A three‑judge bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and other justices noted that while the constitutional right to protest is protected, it cannot be exercised in a way that paralyses the livelihood of others, stressing a need to balance protest with the right to trade. Earlier remarks from the Court highlighted a ‘protest economy’ and expressed sympathy for affected traders.
