Supreme Court Lawyer Warns Against Legal Action Toward Protesters
Supreme Court lawyer Saurav Das has warned that protests may resume if the government uses existing police reports to target demonstrators. This follows a court ruling that allowed police to proceed with current legal filings against protesters.
Saurav Das, a lawyer representing the Supreme Court, has issued a warning regarding the potential for renewed protests. The statement comes in response to a recent court decision that granted police the authority to move forward with existing First Information Reports (FIRs) related to ongoing demonstrations.
Das expressed concern that the government might use these legal filings as a tool to suppress dissent. He explicitly stated that if the authorities choose to "weaponise" these FIRs against the protesters, the legal team and activists are prepared to restart protest actions. The situation remains tense as the government has not yet clarified how it intends to utilize the legal clearance granted by the court. While the court has permitted the police to continue their investigations, Das’s comments highlight a significant divide between the judiciary's procedural ruling and the activists' perception of potential government overreach. There is currently no consensus on whether the police will pursue these cases aggressively or if the government will heed the warning to avoid further civil unrest.
