Delhi Police has denied permission for the proposed protest by the CJP at Jantar Mantar tomorrow.
Addressing the media in New Delhi this morning, Delhi Police Joint Commissioner Nupur Prasad said that applications seeking permission to hold protests or other programmes at Jantar Mantar must be submitted at least 10 days in advance.
She noted that the CJP had previously been granted permission to hold a protest at the venue but failed to comply with the prescribed guidelines and the undertakings given by the party.
Joint Commissioner said the decision to deny permission was taken in view of the party’s previous failure to adhere to Delhi Police guidelines and its own undertakings, as well as the prevailing law-and-order situation, public safety and traffic regulations in the New Delhi area.
She further stated that prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita are currently in force in the area, imposing necessary restrictions to maintain public safety and law and order. She warned that the Delhi Police would take appropriate legal action against anyone found violating the law.
