India, Oct. 10 -- A contempt plea has been filed in the Supreme Court, alleging violation of its October 9 order over the closing of metro stations and cancellation of trains on Saturday.

The restrictions in Delhi on Saturday were imposed ahead of the Cockroach Janta Party protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the special intensive revision exercise.

The top court had on Friday directed the Centre and Delhi Police to lift blanket restrictions on metro and railway services, while stating that security measures cannot amount to a complete prohibition on public transport and inconvenience ordinary citizens.
