The Supreme Court on Sunday ordered normal metro and railway services in Delhi. It also directed authorities to keep internet services running and restore free movement. The court said peaceful, unarmed protesters cannot be detained except under the law. It stressed that the “right to protest cannot be beyond the legal framework”. The directions came after police detained around 7,000 people during Saturday’s protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Around 41,000 security personnel were deployed across the capital. The court also ordered the removal of restrictions near court complexes to ensure access to justice.
