The Supreme Court on Sunday directed authorities to ensure that peaceful protesters are not illegally detained during demonstrations against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. A bench of Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana asked the government to respond to allegations of illegal detentions, police excesses and restrictions on movement in Delhi. The court directed authorities to review barricades and ensure normal Metro and rail services unless restrictions are necessary for public order. It also issued notices to the Union Home Secretary, Delhi Police Commissioner and DMRC in contempt proceedings. The court will hear the matter again on Tuesday. (PC: X)
