SC To Hold Special Hearing On Metro Curbs, Detentions During Delhi Protests Today
The petition says officials ignored an October 9 order by shutting 45 metro stations and cancelling trains during protests, disrupting commuters and public life.
- On Sunday, October 11, 2026, a Supreme Court bench comprising Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana will hear a contempt plea filed by advocate Shailendra Mani Tripathi over alleged violations of the court's October 9 order against complete transport prohibitions.
- Tensions escalated after the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation closed 45 stations from Friday to Saturday, citing security amid Cockroach Janta Party protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, despite the court's earlier directive to avoid complete transit bans.
- Petitioner Tripathi identified specific closures at GTB Nagar and Vishwavidyalaya, accusing Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan, Delhi Police Commissioner Anurag Kumar, and DMRC chairperson D Thara of deliberately undermining the court's authority by enforcing blanket shutdowns.
- Following Saturday's arrests, the Cockroach Janta Party vowed to continue demonstrations at Jantar Mantar, while the Indian government rejected as "misplaced" the United Nations Human Rights Commissioner's concerns regarding "mass detentions."
- The Supreme Court previously clarified that while authorities may regulate crowds, they cannot impose outright bans on essential services, setting the stage for today's hearing to determine if officials willfully disobeyed the directive.
