The Supreme Court has scheduled a Sunday hearing on a contempt plea over the October 10 transit shutdown in Delhi. The petition alleges that the shutdown caused hardship to ordinary commuters.
According to the plea, filed by advocate Shailendra Mani Tripathi, the shutdown violated the apex court’s October 9 order. That order had barred blanket bans that disrupt public movement and create inconvenience for commuters.
The matter will now be heard by the Supreme Court on Sunday. No further details on the response to the plea were provided in the input.
