In Supreme Court a petition was filled seeking direction for immediate removal of protesters from Delhi borders. Petitioner cited Shaheen Bagh case for removal of protesters from the site.
Delhi is in almost deadlock from last few days. Traffic at all the borders of Delhi is disturbed.
Petitioner said in the Petition that, “This Court in the case of Amit Sahni vs. Commissioner of Police (Shaheen Bagh case) has stated that the protest which blocked the public way caused grave inconvenience to commuters and that such protest cannot be allowed, and indeterminable number of people cannot assemble wherever they choose to protest,”.
Petitioner contended that farmers continued to protest against Farm Bills at the borders from last month and blocked the roads. Recently government had allotted the Nirankari ground in Burari to hold their protests peacefully.
Petitioner said protesting farmers could not block public places and roads. Supreme Court had forbade such protests in the future. The judgment in the Shaheen Bagh case had frowned upon protesters occupying public places indefinitely.
