Shaheen Bagh Road Blockade: Certain section of society is aggreived by a law. Validity of law is pending in SC

We are not saying because it is pending in SC, people dont have right to protest.

The question is where to protest. It should not be a place like a street, remarks SC

Democracy works on expression of views. But there are lines and boundaries. They can protest and need not wait for SC Judgment. But issue is if road is the place to hold protests, says Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul.

#ShaheenBaghProtests: Alternate roads have been blocked leading to traffic, says lawyer for intervenor Chandra Shekhar Azad.

#ShaheenBaghProtests: "Our concern is whether it should be on a public road.

Are you as intervenor in a position to go to them and persuade them that to see if protests can be held without blocking the roads", Bench asks Chandra Shekhar Aazad.

#ShaheenBaghProtests: "We are not worried about protests as long as they are not blocking the roads", says Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul.

"They have a fundamental right to protest", remarks Justice KM Joseph.

#ShaheenBaghProtests: Solicitor General Tushar Mehta says protestors are keeping women and children at the front as shield.

#ShaheenBaghProtests: SC dictating order. Says the concern is not in this case alone. Anybody can resort to protests on public roads.

#ShaheenBaghProtests: Court asks Senior Counsel Sanjay Hegde to talk to protestors to persuade them against blocking roads. Hegde can take assistance from any other person.

#ShaheenBaghProtests: SG Tushar Mehta says message should not go that we have been brought to our knees.

#ShaheenBaghProtests: Right to protests has been recognised world over in democracies, especially in India. It is a fundamental right subject only to public order and security of state, says KM Joseph J.

#ShaheenBaghProtests: Maybe you can suggest an alternative site, says Bench.

SG Tushar Mehta says protestors removing themselves from road should not be conditional upon them getting an alternate site to protest.

#ShaheenBaghProtests: Matter to be heard next Monday.

Meanwhile, Senior Counsel Sanjay Hegde and advocate Sadhana Ramachandran to talk to protestors to persuade them to shift protests to an alternate site, says SC.
