Retired officer petitions Supreme Court to bar unauthorized marches in Delhi's central zone
A retired Delhi police official has asked the Supreme Court to prohibit any march in Lutyens' Delhi without prior police clearance.
Retired officer Rajendra Singh filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking an order that large gatherings, including marches, cannot take place in security-sensitive areas of Delhi without police permission. The request comes after the Delhi Police reported not receiving a request for a procession from India Gate to its headquarters, despite the CJP announcing a protest for September 5. Singh's filing specifically mentions locations such as India Gate, Central Vista and surrounding zones. The petition aims to ensure that any large-scale mobilization in these zones follows established protocols.
Why it matters
The case could shape how protests are regulated in Delhi's high-security zones.
