IF AGITATING PROTESTERS DAMAGE PROPERTY, LEADERS MUST GO TO POLICE: SUPREME COURT


The Supreme Court expressed serious concern over the damage of public property during public agitations, and said that if protesters turn violent and vandalise property their leaders must present themselves for questioning at a police station within 24 hours. The court said that if the leaders fail to do this without any sufficient reason should be proceeded against as a suspect and legal process initiated forthwith, including for being declared absconder in accordance with law. The Court also said that leaders will be granted bail only if they deposit the estimated cost due to loss or damage, either individually or collectively.
