Supreme Court judgment in Amit Sahni v Commissioner of Police (Civil Appeal No. 3282 of 2020; Kaul, Bose and Murari JJ). The court held that public ways and public spaces cannot be occupied indefinitely, that dissent must be expressed in designated places, and that the administration ought to keep such areas clear. It also noted that court-appointed interlocutors failed to find a solution and criticised the administration for neither negotiating nor acting. [1]
