The Supreme Court again said – the right to perform can never be anywhere

The Supreme Court has made serious comments on the right to perform and has clearly stated that one cannot perform whenever and wherever he wants. The country’s top court categorically stated that ‘right to perform can never be anywhere and anytime’. The Supreme Court also dismissed the petition seeking review of its order passed last year.

The Supreme Court, in its judgment last year, said that occupying public roads during the anti-CAA protest in Shaheen Bagh against the amended citizenship law in Shaheen Bagh is ‘not acceptable’. The Supreme Court said that some sudden protests may take place but public spaces cannot be occupied continuously for prolonged disagreements or demonstrations that affect the rights of others.

A bench of Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul, Justice Anirudh Bose and Justice Krishna Murari said, “We have looked at the review petition and the civil appeal and are convinced that the order which sought to be reviewed does not need to be reconsidered.” ” Passing the judgment recently, the bench said that it considered the earlier judicial decisions and noted that “it has constitutional right to perform and express dissent but it also has certain duties”.

The bench rejected the plea of ​​Shaheen Bagh resident Kaneez Fatima and others, saying, “The right to perform can never be anywhere and anytime. There may be some sudden protests but in case of prolonged disagreement or performance in public places But cannot be continuously occupied which affects the rights of others. “

The petition sought to review the judgment of October 7 last year. The Supreme Court heard the case in the Judge’s Chamber and turned down the request to hear the matter in open court. The Supreme Court ruled on October 7 last year that public spaces cannot be held indefinitely and demonstrations should be held at designated sites for disagreement. It had said that in Shaheen Bagh area, occupation of public places is not acceptable in protest against the amended citizenship.
