Delhi HC to hear PIL alleging ‘intrusive police surveillance’ of Cockroach Janta Party protesters

A public interest litigation (PIL) challenging the constitutionality of police surveillance methods used during protests by the Cockroach Janta Party is set to be heard by the Delhi High Court. The plea argues that blanket photography, videography, and the operation of a surveillance tower at the protest site infringe on citizens' rights to privacy. This case is significant as it tests the limits of law enforcement's monitoring powers during civil unrest and highlights broader concerns about surveillance practices and individual freedoms in democratic societies. The outcome could influence how authorities balance public safety with civil liberties.
