The Supreme Court on Monday declined to issue interim orders on two Public Interest Litigations (PILs) seeking to defer a proposed September 5 march by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP). The petitioners, including a retired police officer, alleged the march from India Gate to Police Headquarters aimed to create lawlessness ahead of the September 12-13 BRICS summit in Delhi and deter participation by foreign leaders.
A bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant, Justice Joymalya Bagchi, and Justice V. Mohana noted that the matter involved issues of law and order as well as administrative policy regarding protest permissions.
