The Supreme Court of India addressed precautionary measures enforced by Delhi Police amid planned protests, directing that no complete prohibition or shutdown will be allowed on metro trains and road transit. The apex court emphasized that inconvenience to regular commuters must be minimized while noting the necessity of designating alternative, safer spaces with basic sanitation facilities for peaceful assembly. A battery of senior advocates representing multiple organizations and political parties challenged widespread restrictions, train cancellations, and preemptive detentions. Balancing the inalienable right to peaceful assembly against the state’s duty to maintain public order, the court observed that maintaining law and order remains the administration’s prerogative without subjecting the general public to blanket transit shutdowns.
