Court Examines Request to Block CJP Protest Amid Dussehra Weekend Rush

During a hearing on Thursday, the bench examined a petition that warns the upcoming CJP protest could coincide with the Dussehra holiday crowd, amplifying congestion in Connaught Place. Senior counsel highlighted that the rally could lead to a full‑scale shutdown of the area, impeding movement for commuters and causing losses for merchants. The court noted that related matters are already pending before the Supreme Court, underscoring the complexity of the legal landscape.
