New Delhi: Earlier today Supreme court said “Public places cannot be occupied indefinitely”.

Supreme Court said today morning on multiple petitions against the anti-citizenship law and related protests that swept Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh earlier this year before the CoronaVirus lockdown.

“Dissent and Democracy go hand in hand”. The Supreme Court made these observations while hearing multiple petitions against the anti-citizenship law and related protests

A three-judge bench of Justices SK Kaul, Aniruddha Bose and Krishna Murari heard a petition to decide if there can be “an indefinite period of protests in a common area (that) creates inconvenience for others”.  

“We have to make it clear that public places cannot be occupied indefinitely whether in Shaheen Bagh (in Delhi) or elsewhere. These sort of protests (like Shaheen Bagh) are not acceptable and (the) authorities should act… they must keep such spaces free from obstruction,” the Supreme court said, adding the “administration cannot wait for orders from court to clear” the protest sites.

Supreme Court said, “We appreciate the right to peacefully protest and it can be (held) at designated places only,”
