Authored by Sanjana Srikumar, the Centre’s Lead in Litigation and Research and former contributor to CGFoE, and Tisha Roy, Student at NALSAR University of Law, the report interrogates the role of India’s Supreme Court and High Courts in defining the right to protest.
Over the years, numerous Supreme Court judgments have focused on the regulated use of public spaces for protests. These rulings have consistently upheld the necessity of police permissions as a reasonable restriction on protests, often favouring police consultations while neglecting the State’s duty to facilitate these rights, as noted in a report by Part III Action Research and Resource Centre.

The Delhi gangrape of 2012 shocked India, contributed to the fall of a government and led to the establishment of 733 centres meant to help women who had been abused or attacked. In 2019, the Supreme Court listed what these centres should have: from medical and legal help to air conditioning and video conferencing. Instead, a visit to four of six centres in Delhi’s courts, India’s most unsafe city for women, and right-to-information queries revealed centres not doing what they were meant to do.
