The Supreme Court will hold a special hearing on Sunday, October 11, on petitions challenging police action during Delhi’s protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. A petition challenges the detention of Opposition leaders and protesters, while a separate contempt plea alleges that authorities violated the court’s October 9 order by closing Metro stations and cancelling trains. The hearing will be conducted by a bench of Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana. The protests were called by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), which has demanded Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation. The court will examine the pleas and allegations. (PC: HT)
