The Bombay High Court, in a hearing of a petition on Monday, said that peaceful protest is a fundamental right. However, before stopping police action, it is also necessary to consider the background of the protesters and public inconvenience.
The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) held a 'Jail Bharo' movement in Shivaji Park, Mumbai on October 2nd demanding the resignation of Gyanesh Kumar. After the protest, the Mumbai police registered a case against the organizers and 400-500 unknown people.
Advocate Sawar Devre had filed a public interest litigation against the action of the Mumbai police in this matter. The court made this comment during the hearing of the same petition. The next hearing of the case will be on November 19th.
Court directed Maharashtra Government to also respond
The bench of Chief Justice Mahesh Chandra Tripathi and Justice Advait Sethna also directed the Maharashtra government to respond to the petitions in which allegations were made against the police for illegally detaining people during recent protests in Mumbai against the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC).
Court's remarks during the hearing
- Everyone has the right to protest. But the protest should be peaceful. We have seen that the police have exercised a lot of restraint in Maharashtra.
- It should also be seen that the people participating in the protest should not have any criminal record. Criminals should not participate in protests under the guise of common citizens. Photos of the protest held in Shivaji Park on October 2nd...
