Lawyers detained at Delhi CJP protest released after top court intervention
Original: live law
Lawyers detained during protests in Delhi against the Chief Justice of India have been released following intervention by the Supreme Court Bar Association and the Solicitor General. Separately, the Supreme Court criticised restrictions imposed on Delhi Metro services ahead of a planned protest at Jantar Mantar, with judges remarking that protest movements cannot bring everyday public transport to a halt. The twin developments have drawn attention from India's legal community, with bar bodies and courts weighing free expression against the disruption of ordinary commuters in the capital.
Why now: The detention and release of lawyers and the Supreme Court's comments on Metro curbs are fresh, high-profile developments in an ongoing confrontation between the legal fraternity and the government.
