The Supreme Court has sought responses from the Centre and Delhi Police on a plea challenging the de-notification of Jantar Mantar as a designated protest site.
The plea comes after Delhi Police de-notified Jantar Mantar as a designated venue for protests and demonstrations through a standing order issued on October 11. The order designated Ramlila Ground, Burari Ground and CBD Ground in East Delhi as alternative protest sites.
