SC hears plea against restrictions imposed ahead of CJP protest

Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for CPI(M) General Secretary M.A. Baby, approached the Supreme Court with an urgent plea challenging restrictions imposed ahead of a proposed protest.

Sibal highlighted a range of curbs including cancellation of trains to Delhi, closure of metro stations, restrictions on internet connectivity, and hotel booking limitations. He questioned the necessity and proportionality of these measures.

The plea seeks relief against what the petitioners characterise as excessive preventive measures taken in advance of the planned protest. The matter is being heard by the Supreme Court.
