  "account": "The Supreme Court will convene on Sunday to address legal challenges against authorities for their actions during protests by the Cockroach Janta Party and other groups. The parties involved include the Chief Election Commissioner, Union Home Secretary, and the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation. Senior advocate Menaka Guruswamy filed a petition questioning the detention of opposition leaders, arguing it infringes on the right to peaceful protest. Another petition seeks contempt proceedings against officials for allegedly undermining the court's October 9 order to keep essential public transportation running. The court has directed authorities to reassess prohibitions on Metro train services and to issue timely traffic advisories.",
