The Supreme Court on Saturday dismissing a review petition against an October 2020 ruling that the anti-CAA protest at Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh was illegal said that he right to protest cannot be “anytime and everywhere”. The petition was filed by a group of 12 activists in Supreme Court.
A three-judge bench comprising Justices SK Kaul, Aniruddha Bose and Krishna Murari said “Constitutional scheme comes with a right to protest and express dissent but with an obligation to have certain duties. The right to protest cannot be anytime and everywhere.”
