From time to time, numerous large protests have taken place here, organized by various organizations and groups to advance their demands.

Protest Issue Raised in the Petition
A petition has been filed in the Delhi High Court demanding that protests be allowed at Jantar Mantar. Jantar Mantar is a place where protests have been taking place for years, and a related matter has now reached the court.
The High Court heard the matter, and during the hearing, the court asked the petitioner to present detailed arguments in support of their demand. Additionally, the relevant government department or administration has been asked to maintain a detailed bureau on all aspects related to regulations, security arrangements, and public order, meaning both parties have been asked to present their respective views.
The Question of Protest Permits and Rules
In India, citizens have the constitutional right to peacefully express their views and protest. Furthermore, the right to protest in public places is subject to certain conditions. At places like Jantar Mantar, permission, designated areas, timings, and other requirements apply. However, many organizations continue to protest despite being denied permission. This has led to a ban on protests at Jantar Mantar. However, a petition has now been filed to prevent protests from taking place at Jantar Mantar, and the court will hear it.
All eyes will be on the next hearing
The High Court has set a hearing date for the petition, and the court is now awaiting further legal action in this matter.
