Plea filed before Delhi High Court to stop CJP protest at Connaught Place tomorrow

A petition has been filed before the Delhi High Court to restrain cockroach Janta Party from holding protests at Connaught Place on Friday.

The matter was mentioned before a Bench led by acting Chief Justice Nitin W Sambre by Senior Advocate Sacchin Puri, who pressed for immediate interim intervention.

"This protest has to be stopped," Puri submitted, citing massive disruption to normal life, severe traffic bottlenecks, and mounting financial losses to local shop owners in Central Delhi.

The Bench, however, declined to pass any immediate directions during the morning session.

With the Supreme Court actively seized of overlapping challenges concerning protest sites and public regulation in the capital, the High Court deferred consideration to the post-lunch session and asked the petitioner to come back at 2.30 pm.

"Come back at 2:30 after Supreme Court hears the matter, we will consider," remarked ACJ Sambre.
