Rahul Gandhi calls on opposition parties, civic groups, others to join INDIA bloc protest march on Oct 12
- On Monday, Chief Justice of India Surya Kant declined a meeting request from Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, citing judicial propriety and the sub judice nature of pending matters.
- Gandhi and Kharge had requested the meeting to submit a memorandum concerning the Chief Election Commissioner, the "arbitrary arrest" of students, metro closures, and train cancellations.
- The Chief Justice explained that discussing sub judice issues would "wholly contravene the principle of Separation of Powers," noting the court lacks administrative powers to address these concerns.
- Surya Kant advised the opposition to invoke the Supreme Court's judicial powers by filing a formal petition instead, stating the court remains "duty-bound to consider on judicial side the gravamen of issues."
- Opposition leaders plan to march to the Supreme Court to file a petition against CEC Gyanesh Kumar and 'vote chori' on Monday afternoon, with related cases scheduled for hearing on Tuesday.
