Section 144 hearing at Karnataka HC. Advocate General responds to questions posed by Oka J. [On school students being detained] "Those are not school students. It is an institution called Srishti School of Arts and Science. No child below the age of 18 is admitted." #Section144

CJ Oka to petitioner: Entire petition talks as if something is going to be done to the students below 18. #CAA_NRC_Protests #Section144 #Bangaloreprotests

AG: We are not really against protestors. We are against the violence against public property and public safety. Certain other elements might infiltrate the protest. #CAA_NRC_Protests #Section144 #Bangaloreprotests

AG: Section 144 order was issued based on intelligence reports received by Police Commissioner. #Section144 #CAA_NRC_Protests #Bangaloreprotests

CJ Oka: But you can always regulate it. We are concerned with the protection of liberties under the Constitution. #Section144 #CAA_NRC_Protests #Bangaloreprotests

AG: Section 144 is an exception. It is a preventive measure. CJ Oka: This preventive measure curtails the rights of people.
