Summary

India's Supreme Court held an extraordinary hearing on October 11 to address restrictions imposed during protests in Delhi against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and concerning the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. The court directed authorities to allow free movement of people and traffic, restore internet connectivity, and resume normal Metro and railway services, subject to public order considerations. The court ordered removal of barricades across Delhi and barred illegal detention of peaceful protesters, emphasizing that any arrests must follow legal procedures and that unarmed, peaceful gatherings outside prohibitory zones cannot be detained. The court also directed that lawyers, journalists, and other professionals be allowed free movement and that their professional duties not be impeded. Contempt notices were served to the Delhi Police Commissioner, Union Home Secretary, and Delhi Metro Rail Corporation regarding alleged breaches of previous court directives. A follow-up hearing was scheduled for the following Tuesday.
