Calcutta High Court: <\/strong>A Division bench comprising of T. S. Sivagnanam, CJ., and Hiranmay Bhattacharyya, J., issued injunction against the private respondents and all concerned parties from holding the proposed political protest or causing inconvenience to the general public on 05-08-2023.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Contentions<\/strong><\/p>\n

The petitioners contended that the proposed protest will be against public interest and cause inconvenience to the general public. On the other hand, respondents 7, 8 and 9 contended that the protest will be executed block-wise instead of booth-wise and the mass gathering, gheraoing and surrounding the houses of the leaders of a particular political party will be peaceful, maintaining a safe distance of 100 meters from houses from 10 AM to 6 PM.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The observed that though the speech calls for maintaining peace but raises concerns that people may not adhere to this call, leading to potential violence during the protest.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Court held that considering the potential inconvenience, public safety concerns, and apprehensions regarding the maintenance of peace during the proposed protest, it necessary to grant the injunction.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
