SC express concern on violence involved in anti-CAA protests

The Supreme Court on Thursday expressed concern on the violence, which has erupted in the protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

A bench, headed by Chief Justice S.A. Bobde and comprising Justices B.R. Gavai and Surya Kant, said: “The country going through difficult times. The endeavour should be for peace. Such petitions don’t help. As it is, there is a lot of trouble.”

The court’s observation came on the mentioning of a petition filed by advocate Vineet Dhanda seeking the listing of his plea to declare CAA constitutional.

Dhanda moved the apex court to defend the constitutionality of CAA, and also sought action against activists, students, and media houses spreading “false rumours”. He also sought a direction from the court against the rioters.
