Anti-CEC protest: Contempt plea filed in Supreme Court on continued transit shutdown in Delhi
Advocate Shailendra Mani Tripathi said the shutdown was in clear violation of the October 9 order of the Supreme Court, which had emphasised that the authorities must not cause any hardship or suffering to ordinary commuters through a blanket ban
The Supreme Court has received a contempt petition filed by advocate Shailendra Mani Tripathi on October 9, 2026, regarding the ongoing transit shutdown in Delhi. The petition argues that the blanket shutdown of transit corridors violates the court's order from October 9, which emphasized the need to avoid causing hardship or suffering to ordinary commuters and to impose restrictions in a regulated manner.
The petition seeks a judicial order to initiate contempt proceedings against Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan, Delhi Police Commissioner Anurag Kumar, and Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Chairperson D. Thara for their alleged non-compliance with the court's directions.
