Youngsters need counselling, law enforcement must show restraint: Supreme Court's big message on CJP protest

The Supreme Court on Wednesday emphasised that law enforcement agencies should exercise maximum restraint while dealing with protests, observing that young people involved in such situations should be counselled and pacified instead of being met with an aggressive response. The court made the observations while agreeing to hear a petition seeking action against the organisers of the July 20 'Sansad Chalo' march over allegations that the protest incited violence.A bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana decided to tag the fresh petition with a similar matter already pending before the court.
