Bombay High Court: Peaceful Protest Against the Central Government Is Not a Crime
The Bombay High Court has ruled that peacefully protesting against the Central Government's policies cannot be grounds for externment. The court quashed Mumbai Police's externment order against SDPI leader Saeed Ahmed Abdul Wahid Chaudhary, stating that peaceful demonstrations and raising slogans are protected under the Constitution. The judgment reinforces the importance of freedom of speech and the right to peaceful protest in a democratic society, while emphasizing that administrative powers must remain within constitutional limits.
