Delhi Police has told the Supreme Court in a counter affidavit that Jantar Mantar is a public road that should never have been a designated protest site, defending its de-notification against a petition by advocate Swaty Singh invoking Articles 19(1)(a) and 19(1)(b).
The Punjab and Haryana High Court said that no immunity can be extended to protestors misusing Guru Granth Sahib as a “shield” while demanding the release of Sikh prisoners.
