Raising objection over the Communist Party of India (Marxist) filing a petition in the Shaheen Bagh encroachment removal case, the Supreme Court on Monday said what was the point of political parties filing petitions in such cases.
The judgement came in response to the plea filed by 12 activists against removal of protesters from Shaheen bagh in March in view of the coronavirus lockdown.
The petitioner contended that Supreme Court as per its earlier order of Dec 16th and Dec 17th had allowed the farmers to continue with the protest in non-violent manner and the same should not result in damage to the life and property of other citizens.
