New Delhi, Oct. 12 -- The Supreme Court on Sunday ordered that peaceful, unarmed protester cannot be detained except in accordance with the "procedure established by law", while further directing that metro and railway services in Delhi operate normally, internet connectivity remain undisturbed and free movement of people be restored. The court also ordered authorities to remove a notice imposing prohibitory restrictions around the Supreme Court and other court complexes to ensure unhindered "access to justice". A special bench of justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana issued the directions after an urgent hearing on petitions alleging mass detentions, restrictions on movement, suspension of internet services and non-compliance with the court's October 9 order on transport curbs ahead of Saturday's protest against chief election commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The bench directed that metro and rail facilities run normally unless restrictions are required to address a public order situation within the framework of Article 19(2) of the Constitution. It further ordered that people's free movement in the city be permitted subject to law, internet services remain undisturbed in accordance with law, and no person be detained except in accordance with the procedure established by law, particularly in the case of peaceful, unarmed assemblies beyond the area covered by a prohibitory order under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). It went on to issue notices to the alleged contemnors in the contempt proceedings, including the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), the concerned railway authorities and Delhi Police, seeking their responses to the allegations. The court also directed the authorities to take down the notice or any such imposition of Section 163 BNSS in and around the Supreme Court complex....
