New Delhi, January 12
The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued notice on a plea filed by the Delhi Police seeking to stop a proposed tractor rally by protesting farmers on Republic Day.
Issuing notice to the farmers’ unions, a Bench headed by Chief Justice of India SA Bobde posted the plea for hearing on January 18.
“Right to protest is always subject to the countervailing public order and the public interest. The right to protest can never include maligning the nation globally,” Delhi Police submitted.
Pointing out that such a rally could cause law and order problems and prove to be embarrassing for the nation, they sought an injunction against the tractor rally.
