Summary
- The Indian Youth Congress has approached the Delhi High Court challenging the police's denial of permission for a protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar at Jantar Mantar.
- The petition, filed by IYC national president Uday Bhanu Chib, contests the October 1 order rejecting their request made on September 25 for a peaceful demonstration.
- The IYC argues that the police's blanket prohibition lacks proper assessment and violates constitutional rights under Articles 19(1)(a) and 19(1)(b).
- The High Court's upcoming decision will weigh public assembly regulations against constitutional protections for free speech and peaceful protest.
