Supreme Court was hearing a bunch of petitions on farmers’ protest, where the CJI asked if any applications have been made by any organization for protests in Delhi and he came to know that there are no guidelines for grant of permission of protest. For resolving the issue, the CJI said that an order would be passed according to which the farmers may apply for permission to the Delhi police commissioner for protests at Ram Lila Maidan or other locations.
“Some other interests have also joined in the protests. The misgiving being spread is that their land will be taken away. That is how farmers are being mislead,” he said.
