SC to hear plea on action against metro, train closure
The Supreme Court will hear a contempt petition on Sunday, alleging that authorities deliberately disobeyed a court order against a full shutdown of metro and train services ahead of protests. The petition, filed by the Cockroach Janta Party and activists, seeks contempt proceedings against the Union Home Secretary, Delhi Police Commissioner, and Metro Rail Corporation chairperson.
The court asked the government to take corrective steps on proposed closure of Metro stations and roads, stating restrictions must consider commuters' difficulties. The plea argues the authorities have violated the court's order, causing widespread disruption and undermining the court's authority.
