Supreme Court Issues Notices on Plea Seeking Alternative Protest Arrangements at Jantar Mantar

Two publishers report the court agreed to hear a petition claiming the site causes inconvenience, though no data quantifying that disruption appears in the record.

India’s Supreme Court agreed on August 3 to hear a public interest litigation arguing that Jantar Mantar is no longer suitable for protests and requesting alternative arrangements for such gatherings. A bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant, Justice Joymalya Bagchi, and Justice V Mohana issued notices to the central government regarding the plea filed by Satish Chand Kaushik. The court directed Solicitor General Tushar Mehta to obtain instructions from relevant authorities and file a reply addressing the petition’s request for different venues for agitations. This procedural step confirms the court will examine the matter but does not indicate any ruling on the site’s future use or current legal status has been made. [1][2][3]
