CJP protest: SC refuses urgent hearing on plea against NDMC order shutting down Central Park
India's Supreme Court declined to grant an urgent hearing on a petition challenging the New Delhi Municipal Council's decision to close Central Park, a site of recent CJP protests. Justice Bagchi noted that matters such as the right to protest, a proposal to sell 'mungfali' and broader law‑and‑order considerations were all intertwined. The court's refusal leaves the park's future uncertain pending further legal review.
