No person or group of persons can block public places to express dissent: SC on Shaheen Bagh protests

The Supreme Court on Wednesday said that no person or group of persons can block public places or carriageways to demonstrate or express dissent. The SC verdict came on a number of petitions seeking guidelines and other directions on the right to protest in wake of the Shaheen Bagh protest where a group of people had gathered for months to protest against the CAA.
